Displaying AppleTalk ARP Entries
Introduction
When an attached host sends a message to an unknown AppleTalk node on the access
server network, the access server creates an entry in the AppleTalk ARP cache and
transmits an ARP request for the node’s data link address. At this time, the access
server does not know the address for the desired node. When it receives a reply, it fills
in the node’s corresponding Ethernet address.
Command
Use the SHOW/MONITOR APPLETALK ARP ENTRIES command to display
entries that the access server creates in the AppleTalk ARP cache.
