Description
The ARP cache limit for resolved next hops can be configured at an interface level. The benefit of configuring the ARP cache limit is to protect the device from DoS attacks.
After modifying the default ARP next-hop cache limit on an interface, you must deactivate and then reactivate the interface for the newly configured values to take effect.
