Command Usage
• The ARP cache is used to map 32-bit IP addresses into 48-bit
hardware (i.e., Media Access Control) addresses. This cache includes
entries for hosts and other routers on local network interfaces defined
on this router.
• The maximum number of static entries allowed in the ARP cache is
128.
• You may need to enter a static entry in the cache if there is no response
to an ARP broadcast message. For example, some applications may
not respond to ARP requests or the response arrives too late, causing
network operations to time out.
