Static ARP Table
The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a TCP/IP protocol that converts IP addresses into physical addresses. This table allows
network managers to view, define, modify and delete ARP information for specific devices.
Static entries can be defined in the ARP Table. When static entries are defined, a permanent entry is entered and is used to
translate IP address to MAC addresses.
To open the
Static ARP Table
open the
Configuration
folder, and then open the
Layer 3 IP Networking
folder and click on the
Static ARP Table
link.
