Format

display arp all

Parameters

None

Views

All views

Default Level

1: Monitoring level

Usage Guidelines

If you want to view all the ARP entries when you need to monitor the ARP entries, run the display arp all command.

Example

# Display all ARP entries.
<sysname> display arp all
IP ADDRESS      MAC ADDRESS     EXPIRE(M) TYPE        INTERFACE   VPN-INSTANCE

Item

Description

IP ADDRESS

IP addresses in ARP entries.

MAC ADDRESS

MAC addresses in ARP entries.

If the field is Incomplete, the entry is a fake ARP entry. If a large number of ARP Miss messages are sent to the upper-layer software, the system resources will be exhausted in processing the ARP Miss messages. To resolve this problem, the system automatically generates ARP fake entries instead of ARP entries.

EXPIRE(M)

Lifetime of ARP entries, in minutes
NOTE:

When the aging time is 0, the router sends an ARP probe packet to update ARP entries. The deletion time of an ARP entry is determined by the aging detection times and the number of ARP entries to be deleted.

The aging detection times can be set using the arp detect-times command.

TYPE

Entry type and number of the slot that obtains the entry. The entry type contains 3 bits. The first bit can be as follows:
  • I: Interface, indicating the MAC address of the interface

  • D: Dynamic, indicating the dynamic entry obtained through the ARP packet

  • S: Static, indicating the static entry obtained through static configuration

  • R: Remote, indicating the ARP entry obtained through remote backup

The second bit can only be F, indicating that the entry is reported to the routing module, the route to this IP address is calculated, and the entries in the FIB are correspondingly updated.
NOTE:

If the entry is not reported to the routing module, this field displays "-". For the ARP entry with the type as "I", this flag bit does not exist.

The third bit indicates the number of the slot that obtains this entry.
NOTE:

For the ARP entry with the type as "I" or "S", this field displays "-".

VPN-INSTANCE

Name of the VPN instance to which the ARP entry belongs.

INTERFACE

Type and number of the interface that has learnt ARP entries.

If the field is Multi-port:n, the interface learns an ARP entry in which the MAC address is configured for n interfaces.

Total

Total number of ARP entries.

Dynamic

Number of dynamic ARP entries.

Static

Number of static ARP entries.

Interface

Number of ARP entries on the interface.
