Static ARP Settings
The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a TCP/IP protocol that converts IP addresses into physical addresses. This
table allows network managers to view, define, modify and delete ARP information for specific devices. Static entries
can be defined in the ARP Table. When static entries are defined, a permanent entry is entered and is used to
translate IP address to MAC addresses.
To view this window, click Configuration > Static ARP Settings.
