BSR 2000 Command Reference Guide Release 1.0

arp timeout

The ARP timeout feature is used to prevent unnecessary flooding of traffic over the cable network. ARP resolution requests are terminated after a defined interval when attempts to resolve addressing information, for a device entry in the ARP cache table.

The ARP cache table expiration value is disabled by default. The arp timeout command configures the amount of time an entry stays in the ARP cache. The no arp timeout command restores the default ARP timeout condition. The show interfaces command displays the current ARP timeout value.

Note: When the arp timeout value is changed, the change affects all the existing entries in addition to the entries subsequently created.
