View 
System view 
Parameter 
slot-num: Slot number of the card.  
max-num: Maximum number of ARP entries that can be supported by the specified 
card. This argument counts in K (1K = 1024) and ranges from 4K to 8K. 
Description 
Use the arp max-entry command to configure the maximum number of ARP entries 
that can be supported by a specified card in the system. 
Use the undo arp max-entry command to cancel the configuration. 
By default, each card supports up to 4K ARP entries.  
If the system does not contain cards with their model names being suffixed with B, DA, 
DB or DC, you can configure the maximum number of ARP entries to be 4K, 5K, 6K, 7K 
or 8K for the card. Otherwise, you can only configure the maximum number to be 4K for 
the card.  
Example 
# Configure the maximum number of ARP entries that can be supported by the 
interface card in slot 12 to 8K (assuming that the system does not contain cards with 
their model name being suffixed with B, DA, DB or DC).
