Configuring Permanent and Static ARP Entries
To configure a static or permanent ARP entry, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
Step 1
Configure a static or permanent ARP entry.
Step 2
(Optional) Specify the ARP aging time.
Step 3
Verify the ARP configuration.
This example shows how to define a static ARP entry:
Console> (enable) set arp static 20.1.1.1 00-80-1c-93-80-40
Static ARP entry added as
20.1.1.1
Console> (enable)
This example shows how to define a permanent ARP entry:
Console> (enable) set arp permanent 10.1.1.1 00-80-1c-93-80-60
Permanent ARP entry added as
10.1.1.1
Console> (enable)
This example sets the ARP aging time:
Console> (enable) set arp agingtime 300
ARP aging time set to 300 seconds.
Console> (enable)
This example shows how to display the ARP cache:
Console> (enable) show arp
ARP Aging time = 300 sec
