But some operations,such as removing a VLAN, or removing a port from a VLAN, will make the corresponding ARPentries invalid and therefore removed automatically.z As for the arp static command, the value of the vlan-id argument must be the ID of an existingVLAN, and the port identified by the interface-type and interface-number arguments must belong tothe VLAN.z Currently, static ARP entries cannot be configured on the ports of an aggregation group.Configuring Gratuitous ARPFollow these steps to configure gratuitous ARP:To do… Use the command… RemarksEnter system view system-view —Enable the gratuitous ARPpacket learning functiongratuitous-arp-learningenableOptionalEnabled by default.Enable the master switch of aVRRP backup group to sendgratuitous ARP packetsperiodicallyarp send-gratuitous enablevrrpOptionalDisabled by default.Enter VLAN interface view interface Vlan-interfacevlan-id —Enable the VLAN interface tosend gratuitous ARP packetsperiodicallygratuitous-arpperiod-sending enableOptionalEnabled by default.
