Parameters
{0 | <180 -

The number of seconds that a MAC address is allowed to live in the ARP cache. Range is from 180-666666 seconds. To disable aging
for the ARP cache, set to zero (0).
The maximum arp timeout cannot exceed 2/3 of configured idle-mac value. In other words, to configure an arp timeout of 300000
seconds, you must first configure aging idle-mac to 450000 or more. (See
(page 1223)) Default arp timeout = 1200.
