ARP parameter configuration

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a standard IP protocol that enables an IP Layer 3 switch to obtain the MAC address of another device interface when the Layer 3 switch knows the IP address of the interface. ARP is enabled by default and cannot be disabled.

NOTE
Brocade Layer 2 switches also support ARP. However, the configuration options described later in this section apply only to Layer 3 switches, not to Layer 2 switches.
