Parameters (A)
Allows you to configure general Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache parameters.
Complete Entry Timeout (minutes) – Length of time that a complete entry remains in
the ARP Table before removal. A co mp lete entry is one for which there is a MAC address
and a node has responded to the ARP request. Range = 1–200,000 minutes (Default =
20).
Incomplete Entry Timeout (minutes) – Length of time in minutes that an incomplete
entry remains in the ARP table before being removed. (An incomplete entry is an entry
without a MAC address.) This is also the amount of time that a packet will remain in the
system while waiting for address resolution. Range = 1–255 minutes (Default = 3).
NOTE: If you have made changes to this screen, you must do a card reset for the
changes to be in effect.

this field.
