Configurable ARP Retries
In FTOS versions prior to 8.3.1.0 the number of ARP retries is set to 5 and is not configurable. After 5
retries, FTOS backs off for 20 seconds before it sends a new request. Beginning with FTOS version
8.3.1.0, the number of ARP retries is configurable. The backoff interval remains at 20 seconds.
