ARP Aging Time
Enter a time from 60 to 1000000 seconds. This is how long a dynamically learned ARP entry
can remain in the ARP table before it is cleared (and must be relearned).
GARP Timer: Switches join VLANs by making a declaration. A declaration is made by issuing a
Join

using GARP. Declarations are withdrawn by issuing a
Leave
message. A
Leave All
message terminates all
registrations. GARP timers set declaration timeout values. See the chapter on VLAN setup for more
background information.
