Based on the attributes you specify, the refresh attribute refreshes and deletes the corresponding ARP entries as follows:

Example

The following example removes a dynamically created entry from the IP ARP table:

clear iparp 10.1.1.5

The following example refreshes the ARP entry by sending an ARP request for the IP address 10.1.1.5. If the ARP response is received, the dynamic entry is retained; otherwise, the dynamic entry is removed from the IP ARP table if the ARP response is not received.
