Changing the Maximum Number of Entries the Static ARP Table Can Hold

Table 6.5 on page 6-31lists the default maximum and configurable maximum number of entries in the static ARP table that are supported on each type of HP routing switch. If you need to change the maximum number of entries supported on a routing switch, use either of the following methods.

NOTE: You must save the configuration to the startup-config file and reload the software after changing the static ARP table size to place the change into effect.

NOTE: The basic procedure for changing the static ARP table size is the same as the procedure for changing other configurable cache or table sizes. See the “Configuring Basic Features” chapter of the Installation and Getting Started Guide.

USING THE CLI

To increase the maximum number of entries in the static ARP table you can configure on an HP 9308M routing switch using a 128MB management module, enter commands such as the following at the global CONFIG level of the CLI:

HP9300(config)# system-max ip-static-arp 2048

HP9300(config)# write memory

HP9300(config)# end

HP9300# reload

Syntax: system-max ip-static-arp <num>

The <num> parameter indicates the maximum number of static ARP entries and can be a number in one of the following ranges, depending on the device you are configuring. Table 6.5 lists the default maximum and range of configurable maximums for static ARP table entries supported on each type of HP routing switch.
