Procedure 5-1: Display ARP cache entries associated with management interfaces
Overview
The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) dynamically maps physical (MAC) addresses to Internet (IP) addresses. This command displays the contents of the IP stack ARP table. The IP stack only learns ARP entries associated with the management interfaces (network or service port).
For each connection, the following information is displayed:
-
The physical (MAC) Address.
-
The associated IP address.
-
The identification of the port being used for the connection.
The displayed results are not the total ARP entries. ARP entries associated with routing interfaces are not listed. To view the total ARP entries, you should also view the ARP Table Configuration using Routing → ARP Table Configuration. See Procedure 12-1: Address resolution protocol (ARP) routing.
Refer to the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 Transport Service Switch (TSS-5) Command Line Interface Guide, for help on using CLI commands.
