Usage Guidelines

RUCKUS Layer 3 switches have a static ARP table, in addition to the regular ARP cache. The static ARP table contains entries that you configure.

Static entries are useful in cases where you want to pre-configure an entry for a device that is not connected to the Layer 3 switch, or you want to prevent a particular entry from aging out. The software removes a dynamic entry from the ARP cache if the ARP aging interval expires before the entry is refreshed. Static entries do not age out, regardless of whether the ICX device receives an ARP request from the device that has the entry address.

Note: You cannot create static ARP entries on a Layer 2 switch.

The maximum number of static ARP entries you can configure depends on the software version running on the device.

The no form of the command removes the configured static ARP entry.

Examples

The following example creates a static ARP entry. 

device(config)# arp 10.53.4.2 0000.0054.2348 ethernet 1/1/2
