[c-nsp] Is there sticky ARP functionality on Private VLAN in NX-OS

[Tóth András]

Hi Matt,

Sticky ARP is not available yet for Nexus series switches. There's an
internal enhancement request opened for supporting "ip sticky-arp" on
NX-OS but it's not yet implemented.

I've removed the incorrect note from the Cisco DocWiki, however note
that it's not the official Cisco Documentation.

Best regards,
Andras

On the Cisco site in http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Cisco_Nexus_7000_Series_NX-OS_Troubleshooting_Guide_--_Troubleshooting_VLANs , and to quote: "Note:  We recommend that you enable sticky Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) when you configure private VLANs. ARP entries learned on Layer 3 private VLAN interfaces, or SVIs, are sticky ARP entries. For security reasons, private VLAN port sticky ARP entries do not age out. "

Having sticky ARPs in a big virtualized environment is going to break things for the sever guys and I want to ensure I head this off before it becomes a problem.
