The built-in commands listed in this section activate functions on the LM managed device or

arp:
Syntax: arp <options>
Description: The arp command provides access to the ARP (Address
Resolution Protocol) cache, enabling you to view cache data,
delete entries, or add a static route. Super-User access is
required to delete an entry or add a static route.
Each ARP cache entry lists the network interface that the device
is connected to, the device’s network address or IP address, the
device’s physical address or MAC address, and the media type
of connection to the device. Media types are displayed as
numbers, which stand for the following states:
1 - Other

3 - Dynamic route entry
4 - Static route entry (not subject to change)
