I'm planning on moving routing responsibilities from a router to our 6513 and I *really* need to minimize downtime. I'll be moving an interface IP address from one device to another and this is the default gateway for all devices on that network. The problem is that all devices on that subnet will have the wrong MAC address in their ARP caches. I know that if I issue a unicast ping from the new router it will force the end host to update its ARP cache but a broadcast ping does not accomplish the same thing, probably because most devices ignore a broadcast ping, and I don't feel like pinging every device individually.
I can't configure HSRP just to gain the benefit of gratuitous ARP; simply configuring it will be disruptive and that's what I'm trying to avoid. Any ideas?
