arp
Profile Config Commands
Adds a static Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) IP address in the ARP cache
The ARP protocol maps an IP address to a hardware MAC address recognized on the network. ARP
provides protocol rules for making this correlation and providing address conversion in both
directions.
When an incoming packet destined for a host arrives, ARP finds a physical host or MAC address
that matches the IP address. ARP looks in its ARP cache and, if it finds the address, provides it so
the packet can be converted to the right packet length, formatted, and sent to its destination. If no
entry is found for the IP address, ARP broadcasts a request packet in a special format on the LAN to
locate a device that recognizes the IP address. A device that recognizes the IP address as its own
returns a reply indicating it. ARP updates the ARP cache for future reference and then sends the
packet to the MAC address that replied.
