Configuring the Priority of Ingress ARP Packets

Note: Stacking packets are given the highest priority (7). When ARP packet priority is set to 7, the packets are treated as lower priority than stacking packets.

Complete the following steps to change the priority of incoming ARP packets.

  1. Enter global configuration mode. 
    device# configure terminal
  2. Enter the arp-internal-priority command followed by the appropriate value. The default is 4. You may choose a value from 0 through 7, with 7 being the highest priority. 
    device(config)# arp-internal-priority 4
    This example resets the priority of incoming ARP packets to the default priority of 4.

The following example shows the priority of incoming ARP packets set to level 7. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# arp-internal-priority 7
