Chapter 4 Configuring the Address Resolution Protocol

Showing ARP Information

summary - Displays the total number of static entries, total number of dynamic entries, and total number of entries in the ARP resolution table, excluding the entries from the CSS management port.

ip_or host - The IP address for the system to display its resolution. Enter the address in dotted-decimal format (for example, 192.168.11.1) or mnemonic host-name format (for example, myname.mydomain.com). You cannot enter an ARP entry derived from the CSS Ethernet management port.

For example, to display the complete ARP resolution table, enter:

#show arp
