The Retry Limit specifies the number of times to retry ARP requests until holding off requests for 20 seconds. Retry requests occur at a rate of up to once per second. The range of retry limit is 1 to 100 and the default value is 3.

4.If your network configuration requires it, click the button to enable the appliance to accept multicast ARP replies.

Enable this feature if this system is connected to an IPSO cluster. Because all the nodes of an IPSO cluster share a single multicast MAC address, routers that connect to a cluster (either directly or through a switch or hub) must be able to accept ARP replies that contain a multicast MAC address.
