Changing the Maximum Number of Entries the Static ARP Table Can Hold
Table 6.5 on page 6-31 lists the default maximum and configurable maximum number of entries in the static ARP
table that are supported on each type of HP routing switch. If you need to change the maximum number of entries
supported on a routing switch, use either of the following methods.
NOTE: You must save the configuration to the startup-config file and reload the software after changing the static
ARP table size to place the change into effect.
NOTE: The basic procedure for changing the static ARP table size is the same as the procedure for changing
other configurable cache or table sizes. See the “Configuring Basic Features” chapter of the Installation and
Getting Started Guide.
USING THE CLI
To increase the maximum number of entries in the static ARP table you can configure on an HP 9308M routing
switch using a 128MB management module, enter commands such as the following at the global CONFIG level of
the CLI:
HP9300(config)# system-max ip-static-arp 2048
HP9300(config)# write memory
HP9300(config)# end
HP9300# reload
Syntax: system-max ip-static-arp <num>
The <num> parameter indicates the maximum number of static ARP entries and can be a number in one of the
following ranges, depending on the device you are configuring. Table 6.5 lists the default maximum and range of
configurable maximums for static ARP table entries supported on each type of HP routing switch.
