        Why you want to stop it?
        If an ARP entry expires, the MAC is requested afresh as soon as it is needed again. There should be no issue with that.

          You could set a static MAC address, but why bother? As mentioned, if it times out, it will be requested again. That's just normal operation.

          I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...
