To change Static and dynamic ARP parameters

In the WebUI, go to the Interface Management > ARP page.
If you are in the Dynamic Arp topic, click Related Topics: Static ARP
In the ARP Table Settings section:
Enter the Maximum Entries. This is the maximum number of entries in the arp cache.

Default: 1024, Range: 1024-16384
Enter the Validity Timeout. This is the time, in seconds, to keep resolved dynamic ARP entries. If the entry is not referred to and is not used by traffic before the time elapses, it is deleted. Otherwise, a request will be sent to verify the MAC address.

Default: 60 (seconds), Range: 60-86400 (24 hours)

The correct answer should be B.

Gaia Portal accepts maximal value of 16384.

The Maximum Entries value in the Gaia Portal corresponds to gc_thresh3 parameter in Linux kernel.

Note: In Gaia OS, the value of gc_thresh1 and the value of gc_thresh2 are automatically determined by the value of gc_thresh3 value:

value of gc_thresh1 is 1/8 the value of gc_thresh3
value of gc_thresh2 is 1/2 the value of gc_thresh3
