ARP field descriptions

Use the data in the following table to use the ARP tab.

Name

Description

NetAddress

Specifies the IP address corresponding to the media-dependent physical address.

IfIndex

Identifies the router interface for this ARP entry:

  • Brouter interfaces are identified by the slot/port number of the brouter port.

  • VLAN interfaces are identified by the vlan name.

PhysAddress

Specifies the media-dependent physical address (that is, the Ethernet address).

Type

Specifies the type of ARP entry:

  • local—a locally configured ARP entry

  • static—a statically configured ARP entry

  • dynamic—a learned ARP entry

TimeToLive

Indicates the time to live where the ARP is configured.

DestIfIndex

Indicates the slot/port on which the ARP entry was learned. For brouter interfaces this is the same value as IfIndex, but for VLAN interfaces, it designates the particular port in the VLAN on which the ARP was learned.

DestVlanId

VLAN ID where the ARP is configured.

BMac

Identifies the backbone MAC address if the entry is learned from an SPBM network.

DestCvid
