I have never used it but it looks interesting. Arp-ping lets us to check whether a specified IP address or MAC address is being used in a LAN. Intrigued, I opened Huawei eNSP simulator to check this feature. Results are not fully satisfied. As arp-ping IP works correctly, I cannot say the same about arp-ping MAC. There are some problems with communication between router and hosts. It looks like router does not receive ICMP Echo Reply packets from hosts in the LAN. I checked the same between router and switch “labnario_SW2″. Results look promising. Let’s pass on to the lab.
Labnario_RT config:
# vlan batch 100 200 # interface Vlanif100 ip address 10.0.0.100 255.255.255.0 # interface Ethernet0/0/0 port link-type trunk port trunk allow-pass vlan 100 # interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1 ip address 172.16.0.100 255.255.255.0
