Syntax

ip client-tracker 
no ip client-tracker

Description

Enables the visibility of statically and dynamically assigned IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for clients.

The no form of this command disables the visibility of statically and dynamically assigned IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for clients.

Command context

config

Parameters

trusted: Enables or disables the visibility of statically and dynamically assigned IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for authenticated clients. The trusted option makes the feature track clients only on authentication enabled ports (edge ports), excluding uplink ports which are not enabled for authentication with the server.

Usage

Switch sends ARP probes when IP client tracker feature is enabled. This interval is determined by setting arp-age timeout. By default arp-age timeout is 20 minutes however the default timeout can be changed by using the command ip arp-age <timeout value in minutes>.
- The periodic ARP probe aids in detecting any change of IP addresses on end clients.
- Non-chatty clients that do not send packets within regular intervals get deauthenticated due to inactivity after the logoff period. IP client tracker can be used to keep these clients in the network. The customer must always configure the ip arp-age value to less than the configured logoff period, to avoid being de-authenticated due to inactivity.
When the administrator tries to execute the no command that has not been configured (does not exist in running configuration), an error will appear.
