Show NHRP: Examples
The following is sample output from the show ip nhrp command:
Router# show ip nhrp 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.255, tunnel 100 created 0:00:43 expire 1:59:16 Type: dynamic Flags: authoritative NBMA address: 10.1111.1111.1111.1111.1111.1111.1111.1111.1111.11 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.255, Tunnel0 created 0:10:03 expire 1:49:56 Type: static Flags: authoritative NBMA address: 10.1.1.2
The fields in the sample display are as follows:

  • The IP address and its network mask in the IP-to-NBMA address cache. The mask is always 255.255.255.255 because Cisco does not support aggregation of NBMA information through NHRP.
  • The interface type and number and how long ago it was created (hours:minutes:seconds).
  • The time in which the positive and negative authoritative NBMA address will expire (hours:minutes:seconds). This value is based on the ip nhrp holdtime command.
  • Type of interface:
    – dynamic — NBMA address was obtained from the NHRP Request packet.
    – static — NBMA address was statically configured.
  • Flags:
    – authoritative — Indicates that the NHRP information was obtained from the Next Hop Server or router that maintains the NBMA-to-IP address mapping for a particular destination.
