Configuring a static ARP entry

A static ARP entry is effective when the device it corresponds to works properly. However, when a VLAN or VLAN interface is deleted, any static ARP entry corresponding to it will also be deleted (if it is a long static ARP entry) or will become unresolved (if it is a short and resolved static ARP entry).

Follow these guidelines when you configure a long static ARP entry:

The vlan-id argument must be the ID of an existing VLAN where the ARP entry resides. The specified Ethernet interface must belong to that VLAN. The VLAN interface of the VLAN must be created.
The IP address of the VLAN interface of the VLAN specified by the vlan-id argument must belong to the same subnet as the IP address specified by the ip-address argument.

To configure a static ARP entry:

Step	Command	Remarks
1. Enter system view.	system-view	N/A
2. Configure a static ARP entry.	Configure a long static ARP entry:arp static ip-address mac-address vlan-id interface-type interface-number [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ] Configure a short static ARP entry:arp static ip-address mac-address [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ]	Use either command.
