ARP
---

:abbr:`ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)` is a communication protocol used for
discovering the link layer address, such as a MAC address, associated with a
given internet layer address, typically an IPv4 address. This mapping is a
critical function in the Internet protocol suite. ARP was defined in 1982 by
:rfc:`826` which is Internet Standard STD 37.

In Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) networks, the functionality of ARP is
provided by the Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP).

To manipulate or display ARP_ table entries, the following commands are
implemented.

Add static ARP entry
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. cfcmd:: set protocols static arp 10.1.1.100 hwaddr 08:00:27:de:23:aa

Display ARP entries
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. opcmd:: show protocols static arp

Display all known ARP table entries spanning accross all interfaces

.. code-block:: sh

  vyos@vyos:~$ show protocols static arp
  Address                  HWtype  HWaddress           Flags Mask     Iface
  10.1.1.1                 ether   08:00:27:de:23:2e   C              eth1
  10.1.1.100               ether   08:00:27:de:23:aa   CM             eth1


.. opcmd:: show protocols static arp interface eth1

Display all known ARP table entries on a given interface only (`eth1`):

.. code-block:: sh

  vyos@vyos:~$ show protocols static arp interface eth1
  Address                  HWtype  HWaddress           Flags Mask     Iface
  10.1.1.1                 ether   08:00:27:de:23:2e   C              eth1
  10.1.1.100               ether   08:00:27:de:23:aa   CM             eth1
