Configure an IP address and MAC address mapping for an interface.
CONFIGURATION mode
arp ip-address mac-address interface
ip-address: IP address in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D).
mac-address: MAC address in nnnn.nnnn.nnnn format.
interface: enter the interface type.
For the Management interface, enter the keyword ManagementEthernet then the slot/port information. The slot
range is from 0 to 1 and the port range is 0.
For a Port Channel interface, enter the keywords portchannel then a number. The range is from 1 to 128.
For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port information.
For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE then the slot/port information.
For a port extender (PE) Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword peGigE then the pe-id/stack-unit /port-id
information. The pe-id is a port-extender ID number from 0 to 255; the stack-unit unit-number is from 0 to 7; and the
port-id range is from 1 to 48.
For a port extender 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword peTenGigE then the pe-id / stack-unit /
port-id information. The pe-id range is from 0 to 255; the stack-unit unit-number range is from 0 to 7; and the port-id
range is 25 to 28 or 49 to 52 depending on the PE.
These entries do not age and can only be removed manually. To remove a static ARP entry, use the no arp ip-address
command.
To view the static entries in the ARP cache, use the show arp static command in EXEC privilege mode.

Configuring ARP Inspection Trust
Use the arp-inspection-trust command to specify a port or an interface as trusted so that ARP frames are not validated
against the binding table. By default, this feature is disabled.
Enable ARP learning via gratuitous ARP.

Configuring ARP Timeout
Use the arp backoff-timer command for setting the exponential timer for resending unresolved ARPs.
Set the exponential timer for resending unresolved ARPs.
CONFIGURATION Mode
arp backoff-time seconds / minutes
Enter the number of seconds an ARP entry is black-holed. The range is from 1 to 3600. The default is 30 minutes.
