To do… Use the command…
Remarks
Configure a long static ARP
entry
arp static ip-address mac-address vlan-id
interface-type interface-number
Required
Not configured by default.
Configure a short static
ARP entry
arp static ip-address mac-address
Required
Not configured by default.
CAUTION:
The
vlan-id
argument must be the ID of an existing VLAN where the ARP entry resides. The specified
Ethernet interface must belong to that VLAN. The VLAN interface of the VLAN must be created.
The IP address of the VLAN interface of the VLAN specified by the
vlan-id
ar

to the
same subnet as the IP address specified by the
ip-address
argument.
Configuring the maximum number of ARP entries for an
interface
Follow these steps to set the maximum number of dynamic ARP entries that an interface can learn:
To do… Use the command…
Remarks
Enter system view system-view
Enter Ethernet interface view interface interface-type interface-number
Set the maximum number of dynamic
ARP entries that an interface can learn
arp max-learning-num number
Optional
4096 by default.
Setting the age timer for dynamic ARP entries
Each dynamic ARP entry in the ARP table has an age timer. The age timer of a dynamic ARP entry is reset
each time the dynamic ARP entry is used. Dynamic ARP entries that are not used before expiration are
deleted from the ARP table. You can adjust the age timer for dynamic ARP entries according to the actual
network condition.
Follow these steps to set the age timer for dynamic ARP entries:
To do… Use the command…
Remarks
Enter system view system-view
Set the age timer for dynamic ARP
entries
arp timer aging aging-time
Optional
20 minutes by default.
Enabling ARP entry check
The ARP entry check function disables the LB card from learning multicast MAC addresses.
With ARP entry check enabled, the LB card cannot learn any ARP entry with a multicast MAC address,
and you cannot configure such a static ARP entry on the card; otherwise, the system displays error
messages.
