Configures the IP ARP timeout period.
| vr_name | Specifies which VR or VRF IP ARP setting to change. |
| minutes | Specifies a time in minutes. |
20 minutes.
If you do not specify a VR or VRF, the current VR context is used.
The range is 0-32,767. A setting of 0 disables timeout.
When the switch learns an ARP entry, it begins the timeout for that entry. When the timer reaches 0, the entry is aged out, unless IP ARP refresh is enabled. If ARP refresh is enabled, the switch sends an ARP request for the address before the timer expires. If the switch receives a response, it resets the timer for that address.
The following command sets the IP ARP timeout period to 10 minutes:
configure iparp timeout 10
This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 10.1.
