Address Resolution Protocol
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a protocol that maps an Internet Protocol (IP) address to a MAC address that is recognized in the local network. ARP is used to keep track of all devices that are directly connected IP subnets of the Switch. The Switch maintains an ARP table which is comprised of mapped IP addresses and MAC addresses. When a packet needs to be routed to a certain device, the Switch looks up the IP address of the device in its ARP table to obtain the MAC address of the destination device.

| Timeout | Enter the ARP time out in the Timeout field. The default value is 300 seconds. After the time out period, the ARP entries are removed from the table. |
