Configure Address Resolution Protocol
The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) associates a Layer 2 MAC address with a Layer 3
IPv4 address. ARP is a part of the Internet Protocol (IP) and is used to translate an IP
address to a media (MAC) address, defined by a LAN such as an Ethernet LAN.
The switch supports both dynamic and manual ARP configurations. With a manual ARP
configuration, you can statically add entries to the ARP table.
A device that sends an IP packet must learn the MAC address of the IP destination, or
, if the
destination is not on the same subnet, of the next hop router. The device broadcasts an ARP
request packet, to which the intended recipient responds with a unicast ARP reply that
contains its MAC address. The device then uses the MAC address in the destination address
field of the Layer 2 header that is prepended to the IP packet and sent to the recipient. Each
device in a network maintains its ARP cache locally.
The switch learns ARP cache entries by examining the source information in the ARP packet
payload fields, regardless of whether it is an
ARP request or a response. In that way
