# # Vyatta configuration template for protocols.static.arp # # Author: Bob Gilligan (gilligan@vyatta.com) # tag: type: ipv4 help: Set a static ARP translation comp_help: Possible completions: \tIPv4 destination address # # All the work is done here in the "end:" tag. There are four possible cases: # # 1) A new node and possibly sub-tree with hwaddr has been created # 2) Value of hwaddr node in sub-tree has been changed # 3) The hwaddr node in sub-tree has been deleted # 4) This node (and hence entire sub-tree) has been deleted # # The flow is the same in all cases. First, we delete any # previous static ARP translation that may be in place for this # IP addr. This will typically fail in case (1) and in case (4) if the # hwaddr node had been previously deleted. Then, if a hwaddr is defined, # we add a new startic ARP translation for this IP addr pointing to that # hwaddr. This should always succeed, so we don't try to hide error # messages from the user. # # We always force a successful return in order to prevent transient # failures of the "arp" command from failing the commit. # end: ipaddr=$VAR(@) hwaddr=$VAR(hwaddr/@) arp -d $ipaddr > /dev/null if [ -n "$hwaddr" ]; then arp -s $ipaddr $hwaddr fi exit 0
