Configuring Static ARP Entries

ARP dynamically maps the MAC and IP addresses, and while most network host support dynamic
mapping, you can configure an ARP entry (called a static ARP) for the ARP cache.
To configure a static ARP entry, use the following command.
• Configure an IP address and MAC address mapping for an interface.
CONFIGURATION mode
arp vrf vrf-name ip-address mac-address interface
– vrf vrf-name: use the VRF option to configure a static ARP on that particular VRF.
– ip-address: IP address in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D).
– mac-address: MAC address in nnnn.nnnn.nnnn format.
– interface: enter the interface type slot/port information.
Example of the show arp Command
These entries do not age and can only be removed manually. To remove a static ARP entry, use the no
arp ip-address command.
To view the static entries in the ARP cache, use the show arp static command in EXEC privilege
mode.
