The ARP Table is automatically built by the CCU or EUM based on traffic passing between the
Ethernet and Radio ports. This table displays the host IP and MAC addresses. After the CCU
or EUM recovers the destination IP address from an IP packet sent to the router layer, it looks
in the ARP Table to find the destination Ethernet MAC address. If the IP address does not
appear in the ARP Table, the CCU or EUM obtains the MAC address through an ARP request/
reply and adds it to the ARP Table. The only time a host IP address appears in the ARP Table,
is if the host has recently (in the past ten minutes or so) sent or received data. This can be
forced using a ping, Telnet, SNMP request, or by entering:
arp map <aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd>
where <aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd> is the host IP address.

entry is referenced by a process, refcnt will be incremented by one.
When the process is done with the ARP entry, refcnt will be
decremented by one.
