Hey Paul,

Happy Holidays.


To you too...

I think you can the DOS arp command to statically populate your local cache with permanent entries. I would set up your login scripts on all workstations to do something like this:

arp -d * //delete all entries in the cache
arp -s ip mac
arp -s ip2 mac2

Note that I think these are permanent entries in the sense they are static, but not persistent across reboots.

I know how to add static entries, what I'd like to do is turn OFF the
ability to gather dynamic entries. So that if a new system is introduced
to the network, it must be added to each node it will intercommunicate
with. That is, I want ONLY static entries in my ARP table- it's
relatively easy to do with *nix systems, but I can't seem to find a
switch, registry key or driver for Win*.
