Configuring ARP automatic scanning and fixed ARP at the CLI
Configuration guidelines
Follow these guidelines when you configure ARP automatic scanning and fixed ARP:
• IP addresses existing in ARP entries are not scanned.
• ARP automatic scanning may take some time. To stop an ongoing scan, press Ctrl + C. Dynamic
ARP entries are created based on ARP replies received before the scan is terminated.
• The static ARP entries changed from dynamic ARP entries have the same attributes as the static ARP
entries manually configured.
• Use the arp fixup command to change the existing dynamic ARP entries into static ARP entries. You
can use this command again to change the dynamic ARP entries learned later into static.
• The number of static ARP entries changed from dynamic ARP entries is restricted by the number of
static ARP entries that the device supports. As a result, the device may fail to change all dynamic
ARP entries into static.
• To delete a specific static ARP entry changed from a dynamic one, use the undo arp ip-address
[ vpn-instance-name ] command. To delete all such static ARP entries, use the reset arp all or reset
arp static command.
