Hi all,
>From what I have seen in experiments, swtiches autolearn the various
(Ethernet) interfaces connected to its various ports using the ARP
requests and replies flowing through them. And they forget it after a
while of 'no use'.
My question is: Will they forget an entry even if traffic is
continuously flowing thru that port? i.e. Does there have to be regular
ARPs for the interface in the midst of regular flowing traffic too?
TIA.
caio,
Amit
