However, if the ARP entry already exists, an ARP request will not be sent.
The Switch also supports a floating static route, which means that the user may create an alternative static route to a
different next hop. This secondary next hop device route is considered as a backup static route for when the primary

Entries into the Switch’s forwarding table can be made using both an IP address subnet mask and a gateway.
