ARP Commands

This chapter describes the commands used to configure and monitor the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) on Cisco 8000 Series Routers.

For detailed information about ARP concepts, configuration tasks, and examples, refer to the IP Addresses and Services Configuration Guide for Cisco 8000 Series Routers.

arp

To add a permanent entry in the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache, use the arp command in XR Config mode. To remove an entry from the ARP cache, enter the no form of this command.

arp [vrf vrf-name] ip-address hardware-address encapsulation-type [alias]

no arp [vrf vrf-name] ip-address hardware-address encapsulation-type [alias]

Syntax Description

vrf

(Optional) Specifies VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) instance.

vrf-name

(Optional) VRF instance that identifies a VPN.

ip-address

IPv4 (network layer) address for which a permanent entry is added to the ARP cache. Enter the IPv4 address in a four-part dotted-decimal format that corresponds to the local data-link address (a 32-bit address).

hardware-address

Hardware (data link layer) address that the IPv4 address is linked to. Enter the local data-link address (a 48-bit address), such as 0800.0900.1834.

encapsulation-type

Encapsulation type. The encapsulation types are:

  • arpa
  • srp
  • srpa
  • srpb

For Ethernet interfaces, this is typically the arpa keyword.

alias

(Optional) Causes the software to respond to ARP requests as if it were the owner of both the specified IP address and hardware address, whether proxy ARP is enabled or not.

Command Default

No entries are permanently installed in the ARP cache.

Command Modes

XR Config mode

Command History

Release

Modification

Release 7.0.12

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The software uses ARP cache entries to translate 32-bit IP addresses into 48-bit hardware addresses.

Because most hosts support dynamic resolution, you generally need not specify static ARP cache entries.

Static entries are permanent entries that map a network layer address (IPv4 address) to a data-link layer address (MAC address). If the alias keyword is specified when creating the entry, the interface to which the entry is attached will act as if it is the owner of the specified addresses, that is, it will respond to ARP request packets for this network layer address with the data link layer address in the entry.

The software does not respond to any ARP requests received for the specified IP address unless proxy ARP is enabled on the interface on which the request is received. When proxy ARP is enabled, the software responds to ARP requests with its own local interface hardware address.

To remove all nonstatic entries from the ARP cache, enter the clear arp-cache in XR EXEC mode.

arp cache-limit

To configure a limit on ARP cache entries on the router, use the arp cache-limit command in interface configuration mode.

arp cache-limit limit

Syntax Description

limit

Specify the value for the cache entries. The supported range in the router is 0–127999.

Note

 

The arp cache resources vary depending on the hardware resources available in a router. Ensure the cache-limit configured such that the available resources in the router are able to accomodate the entries.

arp police-interval

To permit policing of duplicate ARP packets from the same sender protocol address (IP) or same source MAC address within the specified interval, use the arp police-interval command in the global configuration mode.

Behavior of the policer:

  • When the arp police-interval command is configured, ARP requests coming from the same IP address or MAC address within the configured interval are dropped.

  • If there was an ARP response existing for the ARP request from the same IP address within the configured interval, the new request will be dropped.

  • If the ARP response was not existing already for the ARP request from the same IP address, then the MAC policer will be checked.

Usage Guidelines

ARP establishes correspondences between network addresses (an IP address, for example) and Ethernet hardware addresses. A record of each correspondence is kept in a cache for a predetermined amount of time and then discarded.

For show arp interface-type interface-instance form, the location node-id keyword and argument is mandatory for Bundle and VLAN-on-Bundle interfaces to indicate which location the cache entries for the bundle should be displayed. For physical interfaces, specifying the location node-id keyword and argument is optional since the interface can only exist on one node.

show arp traffic

To display Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) traffic statistics, enter the show arp traffic command in XR EXEC mode.

show arp traffic [vrf vrf-name] [interface-path-id] [location node-id]

Syntax Description

vrf

(Optional) Specifies VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) instance.

vrf-name

(Optional) VRF instance that identifies a VPN.

interface- path-id

(Optional) Either a physical interface instance or a virtual interface instance as follows:

  • Physical interface instance. Naming notation is rack/slot/module/port and a slash between values is required as part of the notation.

    • rack: Chassis number of the rack.

    • slot: Physical slot number of the modular services card or line card.

    • module: Module number. A physical layer interface module (PLIM) is always 0.

    • port: Physical port number of the interface.

  • Virtual interface instance. Number range varies depending on interface type.

For more information about the syntax for the router, use the question mark (?) online help function.

location node-id

(Optional) Displays the ARP entry for a specific location. The node-id argument is entered in the rack/slot/module notation.

Command Default

The active RSP is the default location.

Command History

Release

Modification

Release 7.0.12

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

ARP establishes correspondences between network addresses (an IP address, for example) and Ethernet hardware addresses. A record of each correspondence is kept in a cache for a predetermined amount of time and then discarded.

For show arp traffic, interface-instance , the locationnode-id keyword and argument is mandatory for Bundle and VLAN-on-Bundle interfaces to indicate which location the cache entries for the bundle should be displayed. For physical interfaces, specifying the location node-id keyword and argument is optional since the interface can only exist on one node.
