ARP Entries
Network
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a protocol for mapping an IP address to a device address
recognized in the local network. An address is 32 bits long. In an Ethernet local area network,
however, addresses for attached devices are 48 bits long. (The physical machine address is also
known as a MAC address.) A table, usually called the ARP cache, is used to maintain a correlation
between each MAC address and its corresponding IP address. ARP provides the protocol rules for
making this correlation and providing address conversion in both directions.
BESM Lists whether an authentication request is pending on the listed port.
Client MAC Lists the MAC address of requesting clients seeking authentication over the listed port.
Guest VLAN Lists the guest VLAN utilized for the listed port. This is the VLAN traffic is bridged on if the port
is unauthorized and guest VLAN globally enabled.
Host Lists whether the host is a single entity or not.
Pstatus Lists whether the listed port has been authorized for Dot1x network authentication.
Name Lists the access point ge ports subject to automatic connection and MAC authentication using
Dot1x.
Authorized Lists whether MAC authorization using Dot1x has been authorized (permitted) on the listed ge
port. A green checkmark designates Dot1x authorization as authorized. A red X defines
authorization as disabled.
Enabled Lists whether MAC authorization using Dot1x has been enabled on the listed ge port. A green
checkmark designates Dot1x authorization as allowed. A red X defines authorization as
disabled.
MAC Auth Lists the MAC address corresponding to the listed access point port interface on which
authentication requests are made.
