Displaying interface name in Syslog

By default an interface's slot number (if applicable) and port number are displayed when you
display Syslog messages. You can display the name of the interface instead of its number by
entering a command such as the following.
BigIron RX(config)# ip show-portname
This command is applied globally to all interfaces on the device.
Syntax: [no] ip show-portname
When you display the messages in the Syslog, you see the interface name under the Dynamic Log
Buffer section. The actual interface number is appended to the interface name. For example, if the
interface name is "lab" and its port number is "2", you see "lab2" displayed as in the example below.

Displaying ARP entries

You can display the ARP cache and the static ARP table. The ARP cache contains entries for other
devices attached to the device or the virtual interfaces on the device. The static ARP table contains
the user-configured ARP entries. An entry in the static ARP table enters the ARP cache when the
entry's interface comes up.
The tables require separate display commands.
Displaying the ARP cache
To display the contents of the ARP cache, enter the following command at any CLI level.
