about a MAC/IP binding.

Command Syntax

Supplemental
Information
The total number of broadcast ARPs to send before switching to the not-present state is also limited by the
configure arp state
searching max-number
command. If broadcast for unknown MAC/IP bindings is disabled, the broadcast ARP entry will transition
immediately to the not-present state. This command sets the cadAgingArpCacheSearchingCable-Broadcast MIB to true (which is the
default value)
To reset the value to false, use the no option.
