Release Information

Command introduced in JunosE Release 12.3.0.

Description

Enables the transmission of Gratuitous Address Resolution Protocol (GARP) messages and specifies the number of GARP packets to be transmitted at intervals of 10 seconds. By default, three GARP packets are transmitted when you create an IP interface or the interface state changes from the down state to the up state. Regardless of whether transmission of GARP packets is disabled or the number of packets to be sent is modified using this command, one GARP is always sent for each virtual address of a VRRP interface and three GARPs are always sent when a failover occurs to the secondary link of the redundant port on GE-2 and GE-HDE line modules that are paired with GE-2 SFP I/O modules, 2xGE APS I/O SFP modules, and GE-2 APS I/O SFP modules, with physical link redundancy. The no version disables the transmission of GARP messages.

Options
