Adding ARP Entries

Answer:

Under normal circumstances, you do not need to use the ADD ARP command; ARP automatically maps internet addresses to physical addresses. You would add ARP entries only when a particular host does not support ARP.

You add ARP entries using the Network Control Utility program, NETCU. Each entry consists of an internet address paired with a physical address. You must have OPER privileges to add ARP entries.

To add entries, run NETCU from the DCL prompt, then enter the ARP command at the NETCU prompt, as follows:

$ NETCU

NETCU> ADD ARP destination-ia physical address

The format for the ARP command is:

ADD ARP destination-ia physical-address

The synonym is:

SET ARP destination-ia physical-address
