Configuring The Maximum Number Of Dynamic Arp Entries For An Interface; Setting The Aging Timer For Dynamic Arp Entries; Enabling Dynamic Arp Entry Check - HP 830 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring the maximum number of dynamic ARP
entries for an interface
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter interface view.
3. Set the maximum number of dynamic
ARP entries that the interface can
learn.

Setting the aging timer for dynamic ARP entries

Each dynamic ARP entry in the ARP table has a limited lifetime, called an aging timer. The aging timer
of a dynamic ARP entry is reset each time the dynamic ARP entry is updated. Dynamic ARP entries that
are not updated before their aging timers expire are deleted from the ARP table.
To set the aging timer for dynamic ARP entries:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Set the aging timer for
dynamic ARP entries.

Enabling dynamic ARP entry check

The dynamic ARP entry check function controls whether the device supports dynamic ARP entries with
multicast MAC addresses.
When dynamic ARP entry check is enabled, the device cannot learn dynamic ARP entries containing
multicast MAC addresses.
When dynamic ARP entry check is disabled, the device can learn dynamic ARP entries containing
multicast MAC addresses.
To enable dynamic ARP entry check:
Step
1. Enter system view.

By default, a Layer 2 interface does
not limit the number of dynamic ARP
entries. A Layer 3 interface can learn
a maximum of 128 dynamic ARP
entries.
If the value of the number argument is
set to 0, the interface is disabled from
learning dynamic ARP entries.
