that the system received a ARP request packet that is sent by an IP address that match the

system can send out the gratuitous ARP request packet for this duplicate IP address.

29-3 config gratuitous_arp learning
Description
This command is used to configure gratuitous ARP learning. Normally, the system will only learn
the ARP reply packet or a normal ARP request packet that asks for the MAC address that
corresponds to the system’s IP address. The command is used to enable/disable learning of ARP
entry in ARP cache based on the received gratuitous ARP packet. The gratuitous ARP packet is
sent by a source IP address that is identical to the IP that the packet is queries for. Note that, with
the gratuitous ARP learning, the system will not learn new entry but only do the update on the ARP
table based on the received gratuitous ARP packet. By default, the state is enabled status.
Format
config gratuitous_arp learning [enable | disable]
Parameters
enable - Enable learning of ARP entry based on the received gratuitous ARP packet.
disable - Disable learning of ARP entry based on the received gratuitous ARP packet.
