ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
1338
configure iparp timeout
configure iparp timeout {vr <vr_name>} <minutes>
Description
Configures the IP ARP timeout period.
Syntax Description
Default
20 minutes.
Usage Guidelines
The range is 0-32,767. A setting of 0 disables timeout.
When the switch learns an ARP entry, it begins the timeout for that entry. When the timer reaches 0, the
entry will be aged out, unless IP ARP refresh is enabled. If ARP refresh is enabled, the switch will ARP
for the address before the timer has expired. If the switch receives a response, it will reset the timer for
that address.
Example
The following command sets the IP ARP timeout period to 10 minutes:
configure iparp timeout 10
