Description
This command configures a static Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) entry associating an IP address
with a MAC address for the core router instance. This static ARP appears in the core routing ARP
table. A static ARP can only be configured if it exists on the network attached to the IP interface.
If an entry for a particular IP address already exists and a new MAC address is configured for the IP
address, the existing MAC address is replaced by the new MAC address.
The number of static-arp entries that can be configured on a single node is limited to 1000.
Static ARP is used when a 7710 SR needs to know about a device on an interface that cannot or does
not respond to ARP requests. Thus, the 7710 SR OS configuration can state that if it has a packet that
has a certain IP address to send it to the corresponding ARP address. Use proxy ARP so the 7710 SR
responds to ARP requests on behalf of another device.

local subnet of the IP address. Note that a mask of 255.255.255.255 is reserved for system IP
addresses.
Values 128.0.0.0 — 255.255.255.255
broadcast address used by the IP interface when sourcing IP broadcasts on the IP interface. If no
broadcast format is specified for the IP address, the default value is host-ones, which indicates a
subnet broadcast address. Use this parameter to change the broadcast address to all-ones or
revert back to a broadcast address of host-ones.
The all-ones keyword following the broadcast parameter specifies that the broadcast address
used by the IP interface for this IP address will be 255.255.255.255, also known as the local
broadcast.
The host-ones keyword following the broadcast parameter specifies that the broadcast address
used by the IP interface for this IP address will be the subnet broadcast address. This is an IP
address that corresponds to the local subnet described by the ip-addr and the mask-length or
mask with all the host bits set to binary 1. This is the default broadcast address used by an IP
interface.
The broadcast parameter within the address command does not have a negate feature, which is
usually used to revert a parameter to the default value. To change the broadcast type to host-
ones after being changed to all-ones, the address command must be executed with the
broadcast parameter defined.
The broadcast format on an IP interface can be specified when the IP address is assigned or
changed.
This parameter does not affect the type of broadcasts that can be received by the IP interface. A
host sending either the local broadcast (all-ones) or the valid subnet broadcast address (host-
ones) will be received by the IP interface.
