Locate the machine that is sending out these arp records and either take it off the LAN or shut it down. What does the command below tell you?

# arp -a

[network_4]

arp -a shows a lot ip entries

You can delete it with arp -d , but its not recomended.
For better change arp_keep_interval to suitable value - http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=855028

Pipe the output of "arp -a" to a file and filter out the unwanted entries; remove extraneous arp entries from the current arp table using "arp -d "; reload the wanted arp entries from the file above back into the arp cache. See arp(1M) for details.

~hope it helps

arp -d

removes everything. There will be delays in your system as the existing connections repopulate the arp table.

arp -d 12.34.56.78.

removes the specific address 12.34.56.78

To remove specific entries, you would run the above command thousands of times to remove the unwanted entries.

Do you know which entries are wrong and must be deleted? An arp cache is designed to hold thousands of entries and automatically clears itself.

If someone is running a 'ping every address' program on your computer, the arp cache will naturally be full of entries.
