Loading permanent ARP entries at boot time

[Thomas S. Crum - AAA Web Solution, Inc.]

Hi all,

I am having a terrible time answering this silly question.

I am trying to load arp entries from a file at boot time.

I can add the individual permanent arp entries with:
arp -S hostname ether_addr

But, when I reboot the system the arp entries are lost.

I understand that I can load arp entries from a file with:

arp -f file.txt

file.txt = hostname ether_addr [temp] [pub]

But, how can I make arp read this file at boot time?

Thank you,

-Tom
