 The "change" interface is not very well fleshed out.  I think it pretty much 
 only works for changing gateways, metrics or locks; so even if it didn't panic 
 it wouldn't accomplish what you want.
 
 To accomplish what you appear to want to do, you could try
 
 arp -s 199.2.31.1 0:0:c:76:30:3d perm
 
 (although I don't know why you'd want to do that, if it's dynamically 
 discoverable once, it's presumably dynamically discoverable again when it's 
 needed...)
