arp table
ARP is a network layer protocol that automatically maps IP addresses to
hardware Media Access Control (MAC) addresses. When a network node
sends data to an IP address on its segment, it broadcasts an ARP request to
resolve the IP address to an Ethernet MAC address.
ARP runs over Ethernet only.
ARP maintains the ARP table in the BSGX4e. Each entry in the table maps
an IP address to a MAC address. The entries can be dynamic or static:
z A dynamic ARP entry is automatically configured and is automatically
flushed after a certain period of time.
z A static ARP entry is manually configured and is only flushed manually.
The ARP table only maps IP addresses within the IP sub-network assigned
to the BSGX4e. To see the IP address subnets, enter the command show
interface ip.
Syntax config arp <host> macaddress <address>
Parameters host Enter the IP address for the host.
mac address address
Enter the MAC address.
Example > config arp 192.168.134.163 macaddress 00:11:22:33:44:55
