Networking::ARP

Introduced : BIG-IP_v9.0
The ARP interface enables you to work with the ARP table and entries. In 11.0.0, the ARP/NDP entries were changed to use an independent name as an entry identifier. Thus the following methods were deprecated: get_static_entry add_static_entry delete_static_entry replaced by another set of methods: get_static_entry_list create_static_entry set_static_entry_address get_static_entry_address set_static_entry_mac_address get_static_entry_mac_address delete_static_entry_v2

Methods

Method Description Introduced
add_static_entry Creates/adds the specified static ARP/NDP entries to the ARP/NDP table. BIG-IP_v9.0
