Using Site Manager
To enable or disable Proxy ARP, complete the following tasks:
Timing Out Entries in the Address Resolution Cache
IP maintains an address resolution cache on each interface that is configured with
ARP or Proxy ARP. The address resolution cache contains host physical addresses
learned by means of ARP or Proxy ARP.
If you enable the cache timeout feature on this interface, the IP router removes
address resolution cache entries after the specified number of seconds has elapsed.
After an entry is removed, the IP router must use ARP to reacquire the physical
layer address.
By default, the cache timeout feature is disabled on the interface. You can use the
BCC or Site Manager to enable the feature and to specify a timeout interval in
seconds.
