Enabling ARP or ND entry conversion for portal clients

This feature converts the ARP or ND entries to Rule ARP or ND entries for portal users. Rule ARP or ND entries will not be aged and they will be deleted immediately when the portal users go offline.

When this feature is disabled, ARP or ND entries for portal users are dynamic entries and will be aged out when their respective aging timers expire. Rule ARP or ND entries created before the feature is disabled still exist until the portal users go offline.

This feature is enabled by default. If a user logs out and then tries to get online before the ARP or ND entry is relearned for the user, the user will fail the authentication. Therefore, in scenarios where portal users might get online and offline frequently in a short time, disable this feature to avoid immediate deletion of the ARP or ND entries when users go offline.

Enabling or disabling of this feature takes effect only on portal users who pass authentication after the feature is enabled or disabled.
