Juniper ARP – Difference Between ‘show arp no-resolve’ and ‘show arp’

arpjuniper

What's the difference between show arp no-resolve and show arp?

If I add the no-resolve, what's the difference of it?

Best Answer

no-resolve indicates you don't want to do DNS lookups for every IP address in the ARP table:

teun@juniper> show arp ?
Possible completions:

  no-resolve           Don't attempt to print addresses symbolically

So with no-resolve only see IP adresses, which can be a lot faster when you have a lot of ARP entries.
