Add manual ARP entries for Firewall Clusters

ARP entries are normally managed automatically based on the Firewall’s routing configuration. However, you can also add manual ARP entries for the nodes.

If an interface used for external connections has only a cluster virtual IP address (CVI), you must add a static ARP entry. This entry gives the node a permanent reference to an IP address and MAC address.
