Static ARP Table Screen
ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is used by the router to dynamically
associate a high-level IP address to a low-level physical hardware address.
ARP packets are only sent across a single physical network.
There are some cases when an IP-compatible device does not support ARP or
ARP is deliberately disabled (for security). In these cases, instead of using
ARP to dynamically update the router internal MAC <-> IP Address Table,
this menu can force an entry into that table. This entry never times out.
At least one circuit must be defined to create a Static ARP Table entry
because an ARP entry is always associated with a circuit.
The static ARP table is useful when a Host does not respond to an ARP
request.Access this menu by selecting “Static ARP Table” from the RIP
Parameters screen on the IP Gateway menu.
