Examples

The following example creates a static ARP entry that associates an IP address, a MAC address, and a physical port.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# arp 10.53.4.2 1245.7654.2348 interface ethernet 2/1

The following example configures a static ARP within a user-defined VRF.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# vrf test
device(config-vrf-test)# address-family ipv4 unicast
device(vrf-test-ipv4-unicast)# arp 10.6.6.7 0001.0001.0001 interface ethernet 2/1
