Configure static ARP entries
ARP dynamically maps the MAC and IP addresses, and while most network host support dynamic
mapping, you can configure an ARP entry (called a static ARP) for the ARP cache.
To configure a static ARP entry, use the following command in the CONFIGURATION mode:
These entries do not age and can only be removed manually. To remove a static ARP entry, use the
no arp
ip-address
command syntax.
To view the static entries in the ARP cache, use the
show arp static command in the EXEC privilege mode
