Creating Static RARP Entries

A Layer 3 switch can send an IP address in reply to a client RARP request only after creating a RARP entry for that client.
Note: The RARP entry number can be any unused number from 1 to the maximum number of RARP entries supported on the device. To determine the maximum number of entries supported on the device, refer to the RUCKUS FastIron Layer 2 Switching Configuration Guide.
  1. Enter the global configuration mode. 
    device# configure terminal
  2. Assign a static IP RARP entry for static routes. 
    device(config)# rarp 1 0000.0054.2348 10.53.4.2
The following example creates a RARP entry. The Layer 3 switch sends IP address 192.53.4.2 in response to the RARP request from the client with MAC address 0000.0054.2348 having RARP entry number 1. 
device# configure terminal
device(config)# rarp 1 0000.0054.2348 10.53.4.2
