Configuring a customer-side or network-side port

About the customer-side and network-side port

The device generates a host route when it learns an ARP entry from a network-side port. To save hardware resources, you can specify a port that connects to a user terminal as a customer-side port. The device will not generate a host route for the learned ARP entry of the user terminal.
