ARPExpire

Specifies how long a normal dynamic item in the ARP table is to be retained before it is removed
from the table.

Default: 900 seconds (15 minutes)

ARPExpireUnknown

Specifies how long NetDefendOS is to remember addresses that cannot be reached. This is done to
ensure that NetDefendOS does not continuously request such addresses.

Default: 3 seconds

ARPMulticast

Determines how NetDefendOS is to deal with ARP requests and ARP replies that state that they are
multicast addresses. Such claims are usually never correct, with the exception of certain load
balancing and redundancy devices, which make use of hardware layer multicast addresses.

Default: DropLog

ARPBroadcast

Determines how NetDefendOS is to deal with ARP requests and ARP replies that state that they are
broadcast addresses. Such claims are usually never correct.

Default: DropLog

ARPCacheSize

How many ARP entrys there can be in the cache in total.

Default: 4096

ARPHashSize

So-called "hash tables" are used to rapidly look up entries in a table. For maximum efficiency, a
hash should be twice as large as the table it is indexing, so if the largest directly-connected LAN
contains 500 IP addresses, the size of the ARP entry hash should be at least 1000 entries.

Default: 512

ARPHashSizeVLAN

So-called "hash tables" are used to rapidly look up entries in a table. For maximum efficiency, a
hash should be twice as large as the table it is indexing, so if the largest directly-connected LAN
contains 500 IP addresses, the size of the ARP entry hash should be at least 1000 entries.

Default: 64

ARPIPCollision

Determines the behaviour when receiving an ARP request with a sender IP address that collides
with one already used on the receive interface. Possible actions: Drop or Notify.

Default: Drop
