flushing arp cache

[Anonymous]

- Will rebooting flush the arp cache?

- What is the default arp cache age time out?

- Can an arp entry be statically entered so it will never be aged out of cache?

@jeff - Thank you for posting your question on the forum!

The ARP cache will be flushed with a reboot of an AOS device. You can also flush the ARP cache in the CLI by issuing the clear arp-c command.

The default ARP cache time out is 20 minutes.

You are able to add a static ARP entry to an AOS device in the CLI. The command in config mode is shown below:

switch(config)# arp <IP Address> <MAC Address> arpa

Example: switch(config)# arp 1.1.1.1 aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff arpa

I hope this answers your question, but please do not hesitate to let us know if you have any further questions.

Thanks,
