arp (IP address MAC address)
This command adds a static ARP entry to the ARP cache. This is typically used to add entries
for hosts that do not support ARP or to speed up the address resolution function for a host.
The ARP entry must not already exist. Use the
alias
parameter to allow your device to
respond to ARP requests for this IP address.
The
no
form removes the static ARP entry. Use the
clear arp-cache
command to remove the
dynamic ARP entries in the ARP cache.
