Thanks, Priscilla. I did some testing yesterday and discovered the same two-minute timeout. however, I also have some Solaris boxes that will be affected by this and Sasa Milic mentioned that these might retain the old ARP entries. If so, we'll just have to manually clear the ARP caches. It

I just tried this and it appears that the behavior is a little different on routed virtual interfaces on the 6513. I'm running 12.1(11) IOS and with debug arp turned on I didn't see the duplicate IP test or the gratuitous ARP. Or, I'm just blind and I don't see it but I've run the test several

Been awhile since I've read this list, but saw this posting and figured I'd offer an alternative way of looking at this. I can recall a time when I had to make a move just like this, without knowning what the mix of devices was on that L2 network. If you don't need the original router for

I'm planning on moving routing responsibilities from a router to our 6513 and I *really* need to minimize downtime. I'll be moving an interface IP address from one device to another and this is the default gateway for all devices on that network. The problem is that all devices on that subnet

Can you stand 2 minutes of downtime? What are these devices on the subnet? If they are Windows machines, you may not have a problem. Just take 2 minutes to make your change and the entry for the default gateway will be gone from the devices' ARP cache! The timeout for ARP entries for Windows is
