Creates a static link between the FireEye appliance and another device.
While ARP is a dynamic protocol and the IP to MAC address mapping is dynamically produced and stored in the ARP Cache, there are times when it is advantageous to add static links directly to the FireEye appliance.
For example, dynamic IP to MAC address mapping does not occur across subnets. This prevents Ethernet communication across subnets. Proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), defined by RFC 1027, provides a means to bridge subnet gateways using of static links. These static links are added to the ARP cache and provide the means to communicate across the subnets.
Syntax
[no] arp <ipaddress> <macaddress>
Parameters
no
Use the no form of this command to remove the static link.This command cannot be used to remove dynamic ARP entries. To remove dynamic ARP entries, use the clear arp-cache command.
ipAddress
The IP address of the device you are adding to the ARP cache.
macAddress
The MAC address of the device you are adding to the ARP cache.
Example
The following example adds a static link to a device with the IP address 192.168.0.1 and the MAC address 00:00:10:AA:AA:00.
hostname (config) # arp 192.168.0.1 00:00:10:AA:AA:00
The following example removes a static link to a device with the IP address 192.168.0.1.
hostname (config) # no arp 192.168.0.1
