Chapter 4: arp Commands
4 - 2 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.
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 perma-
nent ARP entry.
Note:
This option is valid only for the Enable
mode
arp add
command.
Restrictions
If you enter the
arp add
command while in the Configure mode, you can add only
permanent ARP entries.
