Theo, looks like a no-go on the SNMP approach. According to cisco, there is no SNMP setting that will cause the PIX to clear it's arp cache. They said there's only 3 ways the arp cache will clear on a PIX: 1) Reboot the PIX 2) Let arp entries expire as per the arp timeout setting (and if set to less than 60 seconds, the pix will loose packets) 3) Manually type a "clear arp" command on the PIX Greaaaat. So I am left with cobbling together an expect script that will let each machine in the cluster log into the pix and do a clear arp command. Yucky Yucky solution, but I can't think of anything else. I hate having cleartext password to my pix inside a script. Anyone have any other thoughts? Jay West --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus]
