configure iparp add 1.1.1.1 ab:cd:12:34:cd:ef - create a static ARP table entry, mapping IP address 1.1.1.1 to MAC address ab:cd:12:34:cd:ef

configure iparp delete 1.1.1.1 - delete the ARP table entry for IP address 1.1.1.1

Use the show iparp command to view current dynamic and static ARP table entries.
