Enabling the ARP Entry Check

The ARP entry check can control the device to learn multicast MAC addresses. With the ARP entry
check enabled, the device cannot learn any ARP entry with a multicast MAC address. Configuring such
a static ARP entry is not allowed either; otherwise, the system prompts error information.

After the ARP entry check is disabled, the device can learn the ARP entry with a multicast MAC address,
and you can also configure such a static ARP entry on the device.
