90 SSR Command Line Interface Reference Manual
arp add
Purpose
Add an ARP entry.
Format
arp add <host> mac-addr <MAC-addr> exit-port <port> keep-time <seconds>
Mode
Enable and Configure
Description
The arp add command lets you manually add ARP entries to the ARP table. Typically, the
SSR creates ARP entries dynamically. Using the arp add command, you can create an ARP
entry to last a specific amount of time or as a permanent ARP entry. This command exists
in both Enable and Configure mode with a slight variation. The keep-time option is valid
only in Enable mode. The keep-time option allows you to create an ARP entry to last a
specific amount of time. The Configure mode version of the arp add command does not
use the keep-time option. ARP entries created in the Configure mode are permanent ARP
entries and they do not have an expiration time. If the exit port is not specified, then
packets to the IP address for which the ARP entry is created are transmitted on all ports of
the interface. If an ARP request is received from the host for which the ARP entry was
created, then the exit port is updated with the port on which the ARP request was
received, so that subsequent packets are transmitted on one port only.
Parameters
<host> Hostname or IP address of this ARP entry.
mac-addr <MAC-addr> MAC address of the host.
exit-port <port> The port for which you are adding the entry. Specify the port to
which the host is connected.
keep-time <seconds> The number of seconds this ARP entry should remain in the ARP
table. A value of 0 means this is a permanent ARP entry.
