Basic ARP Configuration
You can use the ARP General configuration menu to specify the timeout
for ARP cache entries, or to enable Proxy ARP for specific VLAN
interfaces.
Command Usage
• The aging time determines how long dynamic entries remain the cache.
If the timeout is too short, the router may tie up resources by repeating
ARP requests for addresses recently flushed from the table.
• End stations that require Proxy ARP must view the entire network as a
single network. These nodes must therefore use a smaller subnet mask
than that used by the router or other relevant network devices.
• Extensive use of Proxy ARP can degrade router performance because it
may lead to increased ARP traffic and increased search time for larger
ARP address tables.
Command Attributes
•
