User Guidelines
• The software uses ARP cache entries to translate 32-bit IP addresses into 48-bit hardware addresses.
Because most hosts support dynamic resolution, static ARP cache entries do not generally have to be
specified.
Example
The following example adds IP address 198.133.219.232 and MAC address 00:00:0c:40:0f:bc to the ARP
table.
Console(config)# arp 198.133.219.232 00:00:0c:40:0f:bc ethernet
