arp

Configures an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) entry in the static ARP table and defines an ARP inspection entry in the static ARP table.
Syntax
arp ip-address mac-address { ethernet unit/slot/port | lag lag-id } [ evi evi-instance ]
arp ip-address mac-address inspection
no arp ip-address mac-address { ethernet unit/slot/port | lag lag-id } [ evi evi-instance ]
no arp ip-address mac-address inspection
Command Default

Dynamic ARP Inspection is disabled by default and the trust setting of ports is untrusted by default.

Parameters
ip-address
Specifies the IP address of the device that has the MAC address of the entry.
mac-address
Specifies the MAC address of the entry.
ethernet unit/slot/port
Specifies the Ethernet interface.
lag lag-id
Specifies the LAG virtual interface.
evi evi-instance
Specifies a BGP Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN ) instance.
inspection
Specifies the ARP inspection entry.
Modes

Global configuration mode

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.

When the evi evi-instance parameter is used, a static MAC-IP entry is created for the specified EVPN instance. ARP suppression should be enabled for the EVPN instance using the arp-suppression command.

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

Dynamic ARP Inspection must be enabled to use static ARP inspection entries that you have configured.

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

Examples

The following example creates a static ARP entry.

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

The following example creates a static MAC IP entry for a specified EVPN instance.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# arp 1.2.3.4 5555.6666.7777 ethernet 1/2/3 evi 100
