Occasionally i have a label printer that becomes unavailable. The printer is statically assigned the address 192.168.121.209 and that address is not included in our DHCP scope on our server. I ran arp -a 192.168.121.209 and it returned the proper mac address.
I then ran a continuous ping until the ping eventually failed. After the failed ping, i ran arp -a 192.168.121.209 again and it returned "no ARP entries found". A few minutes later it was back in the arp table and pings were successful. What would
explain this?
