ARP
The device maintains an ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) table for all known
devices that reside in the IP subnets directly connected to it. A directly-connected
IP subnet is the subnet to which an IPv4 interface of the device is connected.
When the device is required to send/route a packet to a local device, it searches
the ARP table to obtain the MAC address of the device. The ARP table contains
both static and dynamic addresses. Static addresses are manually configured and
do not age out. The device creates dynamic addresses from the ARP packets it
receives. Dynamic addresses age out after a configured time.
NOTE In Layer 2 mode, the IP, MAC address mapping in ARP Table is used by the device
to forward traffic originated by the device. In Layer3 mode, the mapping
information is used for Layer3 routing as well as to forward generated traffic.
To define the ARP tables:
STEP 1 Click IP Configuration > IPv4 Management and Interfaces > ARP.
STEP 2 Enter the parameters.
