Usage guidelines
By default, the device performs the following operations if it is using the sender IP address of a
received ARP packet:
• Sends a gratuitous ARP request.
• Displays an error message after the device receives an ARP reply about the conflict.
You can use this command to enable the device to display error messages before sending a
gratuitous ARP reply or request for conflict confirmation.
