Usage guidelines
ARP flood suppression reduces ARP request broadcasts by enabling the VTEP to reply to ARP
requests on behalf of VMs.
This feature snoops ARP packets to populate the ARP flood suppression table for local and remote
MAC addresses. If an ARP request has a matching entry, the VTEP replies to the request on behalf
of the VM. If no match is found, the VTEP floods the request to both local and remote sites.
Examples
