Displaying Dynamically Learned ARP Entries
The ARP cache contains entries that map IP addresses to the corresponding
physical address. The ARP cache contains static entries, and entries for local
interfaces, including subnet, host, and broadcast addresses. Most of these entries will
be dynamically learned through replies to broadcast messages. You can display all of
the dynamic entries in the ARP cache, change specific dynamic entries into static
entries, or clear all dynamic entries from the cache.
