Information
In FTOS versions prior to 8.3.1.0, if a gratuitous ARP is received some time after an
ARP request is sent, only RP2 installs the ARP information. For example:
1. At time t=0 FTOS sends an ARP request for IP A.B.C.D
2. At time t=1 FTOS receives an ARP request for IP A.B.C.D
3. At time t=2 FTOS installs an ARP entry for A.B.C.D only on RP2.
Beginning with version 8.3.1.0, when a Gratuitous ARP is received, FTOS installs an
ARP entry on all 3 CPUs.
