The ARP Page contains the following fields.

about an ARP table entry. After this period, the entry is deleted from the table. The range is 1 -

60,000 seconds.
• Clear ARP Table Entries— Indicates the type of ARP entries that are cleared on all devices. The
possible values are:
– None — ARP entries are not cleared.
– All — All ARP entries are cleared.
– Dynamic — Only dynamic ARP entries are cleared.
– Static — Only static ARP entries are cleared.
• Interface — Indicates the interface connected to the device.
• IP Address — Indicates the station IP address, which is associated with the MAC address filled in
