DESCRIPTION
You can use the arp component to add entries to or delete entries from the ARP table.
You can create static ARP entries for IPv4 addresses to link-layer addresses, such as Ethernet media access
control (MAC) addresses. You can view and delete static and dynamic ARP entries.
Note that you can use the db component in the sys module to configure how the system handles ARP entries for
dynamic timeout, maximum dynamic entries, add reciprocal, and maximum retries. For more information, see sys
db.
EXAMPLES
create arp myARP ip-address 10.10.10.20 mac-address 00:0b:09:88:00:9a
Creates an arp mapping of the IP address 10.10.10.20 to the MAC address 00:0b:09:88:00:9a, and the name of
this entry is myARP. Alternatively, the address can be used as the name, like the following example.
create arp 10.10.10.20 mac-address 00:0b:09::88:00:9a
Creates an arp mapping of IP address 10.10.10.20 to the MAC address 00:0b:09:88:00:9a.
modify arp 10.10.10.20 mac-address 00:0b:09:88:00:9b
Modifies the ARP mapping of the ARP entry named 10.10.10.20 to the MAC address 00:0b:09:88:00:9b.
show arp
Displays ARP status and statistics for the system.
show arp any%2
Displays ARP status and statistics for all IP addresses in route domain 2. A glob expression displays the
same result: show arp *%2.
list arp all-properties
Displays all properties for all ARP entries for the system.
list arp non-default-properties
Displays all non-default properties for all ARP entries for the system.
delete arp all
Deletes all ARP entries for the system.
delete arp myARP
Deletes the ARP entry named myARP.
OPTIONS
description
User defined description.
dynamic
Displays the status of dynamic ARP entries.
glob Displays the items that match the glob expression. See help glob for a description of glob expression
syntax.
ip address
Specifies the IP address, in one of the following formats, for which you want to configure an ARP entry:
IPv4 address in dotted-quad notation, for example, 10.10.10.1
host name, for example, www.f5.com
You can also specify a list of IP addresses separated by a single space. For example, this list contains
three IP addresses: 10.10.10.20 10.10.10.21 10.10.10.22.
ip-address
The IP address to be mapped. This is optional, and if not present, the name needs to be a string that
represents a valid IP address.
mac-address
Specifies a 6-byte ethernet address in not case-sensitive hexadecimal colon notation, for example,
00:0b:09:88:00:9a. You must specify a MAC address when you create an ARP entry.
regex
Displays the items that match the regular expression. The regular expression must be preceded by an at
sign (@[regular expression]) to indicate that the identifier is a regular expression. See help regex for
a description of regular expression syntax.
static
Displays the status of static ARP entries.
