Address Resolution Protocol
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a protocol that maps an Internet Protocol 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 made 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.
To activate Address Resolution Protocol
- Navigate to Policies > Policy Hierarchy > Switch Policy.
- Select the System tab and scroll down to the Address Resolution Protocol section.
- Specify the Max Retries. The Max Retries count specifies the maximum number of attempts made before removing an ARP entry. The default value is 3 and the range of the Max Retries count is 2 to 10
- Specify the ARP Timeout in the field. The default value is 300 seconds. After the time out period, the ARP entries are removed from the table.
- In the ARP Setting section, Specify the IP.
- Specify the Mac Address.
-
Specify the VLAN option.
You can add more ARP settings clicking on the add icon.
