How to set static ARP entry on edge service gateway?

[u047]

Is it possibe to set a static (permanent) ARP entry for an IP on an edge service gateway, analogical to Cisco command "arp ip.ip.ip.ip 0123.4567.89ab arpa " ?

If yes - how to?

If yes - Will the permanent ARP entry survive a redeployment of the ESG?

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

You can check via show arp command on NSX edge CLI. Based on the traffic flow during the redeployment phase, ARP enteries will show stale/reachable and HA interface ARP cache will be permanent in Active-Standby deployment.

Note: Redeploying edge will cause a slight disruption in the traffic flow.

Thanks for your reply Sreec; I know how to show arp entrys - but how to set them statically?

I don't think this is possible. What is your use case and need for this?

As per me, It is not possible to add static arp entry on NSX edge. I wasn't able to find any link for such in official documentation. But you can add a static entry on DLR using net-vdr command.

net-vdr --nbr -a -i destIp -m destMac -n lifName vdrName
