H3C S3600 Series Ethernet Switches-Release 1510 Chapter 1 ARP Configuration
1-7
Caution:
z Static ARP mapping entries are valid as long as the Ethernet switch operates. But
some operations, which make the ARP entries invalid, result in ARP entries being
removed, such as changing/removing a VLAN interface, removing a VLAN, or
removing a port from a VLAN.
z As for the arp static command, the value of the vlan-id argument must be the ID of
an existing VLAN, and the port identified by the interface-type and interface-number
arguments must belong to the VLAN.
z Currently, static ARP mapping entries cannot be configured on aggregation ports.
