Help Me: How to set ARP stale time interval on linux platform for Ipv6 interface

Hi,

Can any one please help me increase the arp stale time of an ipv6 interface on linux platform ?

I have tried increasing the variable gc_stale_time but that doesnt work.

Thanks

(for more information see man 7 arp)

You want to set base_reachable_time higher, it defaults to 30 seconds. At 30 seconds entries can become stale at a range of 15 seconds to 45 seconds. If there is positive feedback the time increases.
