Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

To identify whether the device fails to learn ARP entries is because the number of ARP entries that each interface learns has reached the upper limit, causing authorized users unable to get online, run the display arp-limit command to view the maximum number of ARP entries that each interface can learn and the number of ARP entries that each interface has learned.

Precautions

After you run the display arp-limit command, both the maximum number of ARP entries that an interface can learn and the number of ARP entries that the interface has learned are displayed for interfaces on the main control board, and only the maximum number of ARP entries that an interface can learn is displayed for interfaces on the interface boards.

Example

# View information about ARP entry learning on the device.

<sysname> display arp-limit
