The dynamic ARP table tells you all the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) that have been dynamically learned rather than statically. Dynamically means that it learned the pathway automatically without having to be configured.
The default time to keep the ARP table entry is 20 mins...For every 20mins the ARP table will be refreshed. Because, The neighboring device can be out of the network so the ARP table should be updated according to the network states. When the table gets refreshed the content will get erased and when the chance comes to resolve the MAC address to the known IP address the ARP request will be sent in broadcast mode where the reply will be in Unicast mode.

Try show fdb. if you want to show the ARP table use: show iparp
ARP and RARP protocols are present at network layer. ARP is short form of address resolution protocol. IP is the type of header an ARP frame contain .
Routing is the process that direct a packet to choose an optimal path from source to destination. Routing is of two types static routing and dynamic routing . Dynamic routing is not done manually and uses a number of protocols , it is automatic.
Dynamic ARP table entries are created whne a client makes an ARP request that cannot be satisfied by data already in the ARP table.
Dynamic ARP table entries
An ARP table.

ARP is a Third layer or Network layer protocol. ARP is an address resolution protocol . The mechanism used by ARP to resolve IP address is look up table.
show ip arp
arp -d ip-address

An ARP cache holds dynamic network and mapping information. Delaying the clearing of this cache is that dynamic information or processes can be left in limbo and become non-removable after a period of time.
The Mapping is done in the ARP table. C:\Documents and Settings\martin>arp -a Interface: 10.1.1.3 --- 0x6 Internet Address Physical Address Type 10.1.1.1 00-22-b0-8e-94-41 dynamic
TCP/IP Address Resolution Protocol Utility (arp)(Page 2 of 2) arp Utility Functions To allow administrators to manage this ARP cache table, TCP/IP devices include an arp utility. It has three basic functions, which are invoked using three different versions of the command (which, for once, are the same in UNIX and Windows!): * ARP Cache Table Display ("arp -a"): When the "-a" option is used with the utility, it displays the current contents of the ARP cache table. Each entry in the table shows the IP address and hardware address pair for one device (interface, actually); usually an indication is also given as to whether each entry is static or dynamicThe exact format of the display varies from one implementation to the next; some programs show IP addresses while others show host names, and still others may show both. Some systems default to displaying host names but allow the "-n" option to also be used to force only IP addresses to be displayed and not names. * ARP Cache Table Entry Addition ("arp -s "): This syntax allows an administrator to make a new manual ARP cache table entry that maps the given host name to the specified hardware address. * ARP Cache Table Entry Deletion ("arp -d "): This command removes the specified cache entry from the table. Some implementations allow the addition of another parameter to specify that all entries should be removed from the cache. Additional arp Features Certain versions of the software may also supplement these basic commands with additional features. One common additional option on UNIX systems is the ability to specify a file from which cache table entries may be read, using "arp -f ". This saves a considerable amount of time and effort compared to typing each entry manually using "arp -s". Note also that access to options that cause the ARP cache table to be changed may be restricted by the operating system to only authorized users. This is especially true of the delete function, and especially especially true of the function that allows the entire ARP table to be deleted. J
