Mikrotik ARP -- Default Timeout

Fri Dec 12, 2008 12:24 am

We are running MK v3.14 on our routers within the network. It appears that the router is dropping ARP tables every 60-30 seconds. Is there a way to set the timeout too 900 seconds like i can on a Cisco router?

Actual for me too.
Default timeout is very small!

There shouldn't be any need for ARP setting adjustment - all timers are
according the standards.
Could you explain when it is necessary to increase timeout?

We need any replacement for arpwatch.
For example, do "/ip arp print" every N minutes and compare with previous output.

P.S. Of course, true arpwatch (for example, sending notifications via syslog) would by more better!!!

You can get information from /ip arp every 1 1.30 minutes to get the information about entries even now.
