ARP address for the management IP

When I run the command show ip arp | i a.b.c.d, where a.b.c.d is the management ip of the vcmp system (7200v in this case), it gives me a mac address which I am not able to find on the device. It is vertainly not the base mac address of the device which can be seen from Device management -> Devices -> properties. I tried running few commands on cli but no joy. Please suggest.

 

  • To get the management MAC use the following command on tmsh:

    tmsh show sys hardware | grep 'Base MAC'
    

    Also the VIPRION chassis has a virtual interface behind the physical management interfaces of each blade.

    On BASH try running the following to get management interface details:

    ip addr show mgmt
    
  • Use the linux command with the user "root" or with a user account which has access to advance shell

    ip a | grep -A 2 mgmt

    link/ether shows the MAC address of the mgmt port.

    Or you can try this one

    show sys mac-address | grep -i mgmt
