Displaying the static ARP table
To display the static ARP table instead of the ARP cache, enter the following command at any CLI
level.

This example shows two static entries. Note that since you specify an entry’s index number when
you create the entry, it is possible for the range of index numbers to have gaps, as shown in this
example.

NOTE

The entry number you assign to a static ARP entry is not related to the entry numbers in the ARP
cache.

Syntax: show ip static-arp [ethernet portnum | mac-address xxxx.xxxx.xxxx [mask] |

ip-addr [ip-mask]] [num]

The ethernet portnum parameter lets you restrict the display to entries for a specific port.

The mac-address xxxx.xxxx.xxxx parameter lets you restrict the display to entries for a specific MAC
address.

The mask parameter lets you specify a mask for the mac-address xxxx.xxxx.xxxx parameter, to
display entries for multiple MAC addresses. Specify the MAC address mask as “f”s and “0”s, where
“f”s are significant bits.

The ip-addr and ip-mask parameters let you restrict the display to entries for a specific IP address
and network mask. Specify the IP address masks in standard decimal mask format (for example,
255.255.0.0).

NOTE

The ip-mask parameter and mask parameter perform different operations. The ip-mask parameter
specifies the network mask for a specific IP address, whereas the mask parameter provides a filter
for displaying multiple MAC addresses that have specific values in common.

The num parameter lets you display the table beginning with a specific entry number.

Type

The type, which can be one of the following:

Dynamic – The Virtual ADX learned the entry from an incoming packet.

Static – The Virtual ADX loaded the entry from the static ARP table when
the device for the entry was connected to the Virtual ADX.

Age

The number of minutes the entry has remained unused. If this value reaches
the ARP aging period, the entry is removed from the table.
To display the ARP aging period, refer to

“Displaying global IP configuration

information”

on page 85.

NOTE: Static entries do not age out.

Port

The port on which the entry was learned.
