How to view the ARP Timeout setting on Cisco Router?

Question

What command do you use to view the ARP Timeout setting on a Cisco Router?

Not the remaining time or ageing time on a particular ARP entry. But the actual timeout setting itself. I know it is by default 4 hours, I just need to know what show command shows this.

Some searches online pointed me towards show arp timeout or show ip arp timeout but neither of these worked on the GNS3 Routers I tried it against. It may only be available on real Routers, in which case I would love to have that confirmed. (And for someone to post the output of the command from a real router).

Sigh, rookie mistake. The command arp timeout is available in interface configuration mode only, and is set specific to each interface. You can view the setting in show interface:

router1#  conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
router1(config)# arp timeout 99999
                     ^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

router1(config)# int eth0/1
router1(config-if)# arp timeout 99999
router1(config-if)# end
