Thanks for your response.

After consulting with some other colleugues, i realized I was unclear as to
the actual function of the command.  Please disregard, and keep up the good
work.

I was unable to verify this. As long as the hostname is in /etc/hosts, it
works
for me. I did not try a dns name, though. See example output:

bandicoot# arp -s bandicoot 00:d0:b7:1d:7c:06
