Adding to ARP entry

[neil]

Hi Mark,
I have a device connected directly to my board, and communicate to it via UDP communication. Sometimes it takes a while getting communication with it. I know the mac and ip address of the unit, is it possible to add them directly to the ARP table?

Regards
Neil

Hi Neil

You can use the function
extern void fnAddARP(unsigned char *new_ip, unsigned char *rem_hwadr, unsigned char ucType);
If you set the ucType as ARP_FIXED_IP (rather than ARP_TEMP_IP) it will never timeout.

Regards

Mark
