7.3 Configuring ARP

This section describes how to configure static ARP and dynamic ARP. Dynamic ARP entries
are maintained by ARP, but you can optimize dynamic ARP entries by setting the number of
detection times before deleting dynamic ARP entries, aging time of dynamic ARP entries, and
other parameters.

Applicable Environment
On the S9300, you can configure dynamic ARP. You do not need to enable this function,
however, you can change certain parameters of dynamic ARP entries.
