arp scan
Use
arp scan
to enable ARP automatic scanning in the specified address range for neighbors.
Syntax
arp scan
[
start-ip-address
to
end-ip-address
]
Views
Layer 3 Ethernet interface view, Layer 3 Ethernet subinterface view, VLAN interface view, Layer 3
aggregate interface view, Layer 3 aggregate sub-interface view
Default command level
2: System level
Parameters
start-ip-address
: Specifies the start IP address of the scanning range.
end-ip-address
: Specifies the end IP address of the scanning range. The end IP address must be
higher than or equal to the start IP address.
Usage guidelines
If the start IP and end IP addresses are specified, the device scans the specific address range for
neighbors and learns their ARP entries, so that the scanning time is reduced. If the specified address
range contains multiple network segments, the sender IP address in the ARP request is the interface
address on the smallest network segment.
If no address range is specified, the device only scans the network where the primary IP address of
the interface resides for neighbors. The sender IP address in the ARP requests is the primary IP
address of the interface.
The start IP address and end IP address must be on the same network as the primary IP address or
manually configured secondary IP addresses of the interface.
IP addresses already exist in ARP entries are not scanned.
ARP automatic scanning might take some time. To stop an ongoing scan, press
Ctrl
+
C
. Dynamic
ARP entries are created based on ARP replies received before the scan is terminated.
Examples
# Configure the device to scan the network where the primary IP address of GigabitEthernet 3/0/1
resides for neighbors.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 3/0/1
[Sysname-GigabitEthernet3/0/1] arp scan
# Configure the device to scan the specific address range for neighbors.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 3/0/1
[Sysname-GigabitEthernet3/0/1] arp scan 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.20
