13 ARP Commands

13.1 arp

To add a permanent entry in the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache, use the arp command in
global configuration mode. To remove an entry from the ARP cache, use the no form of this command.


Command Syntax

arp [vrf vrf-name] ip-address hardware-address
no arp [vrf vrf-name] ip-address

ip-address

IP address in four-part dotted decimal format corresponding to the local
data-link address.

vrf vrf-name

Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) instance. The vrf-name argument is
the name of the VRF table.

hardware-address

Local data-link address (a 48-bit address).


Default

No entries are permanently installed in the ARP cache.


Command Mode

Global configuration


Usage

Because most hosts support dynamic resolution, you generally need not specify static ARP cache
entries.
To remove all nonstatic entries from the ARP cache, use the clear arp-cache privileged EXEC
command.


Examples

The following is an example of a static ARP entry for a typical Ethernet host:
Switch(config)# arp 10.31.7.19 0800.0900.1834

13.2 arp timeout

To configure how long a dynamically learned IP address and its corresponding Media Control Access
(MAC) address remain in the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache, use the arp timeout
command in interface configuration mode. To restore the default value, use the no form of this
command.
