Static ARP Table

Hi,

With the USG series I used a little CLI script to set up static ARP table entries (these entries are required to forward WoL packets from VPN connected management stations).

Example:

configure terminal
arp 10.1.1.1 12:23:34:56:67:78
exit
write

How can I achieve a static ARP table entry with the current USG Flex H series?

Thanks in advance…

    Hi @Ich ,

    You can try this CLI.

    In case the client is under LAN interface ge3.

    IP address is 192.168.168.100 with MAC address 00:11:22:33:44:55

    > edit running

    # / vrf main interface ethernet ge3 ipv4 neighbor 192.168.168.100 link-layer-address 00:11:22:33:44:55

    # commit

    # copy running startup

    # show arp-table

    Thank you. This works great 😀

    Would be nice, if the "ipv4 neighbor" command would sneak into the reference guide…
