Commands for displaying access IPs on Huawei switches

You can view IP addresses on Huawei switches using commands like display arp, display interface brief, and display vlan to identify connected devices and interface configurations.Viewing IP Addresses of Connected DevicesTo see the IP addresses of servers or devices directly connected to a Huawei switch, use the ARP table:CodeCopydisplay arp This command shows the IP ADDRESS of connected devices and the INTERFACE on the switch they are connected to. If the interface type is VLANIF, you can run display vlan vlan-id to see the physical ports associated with that VLAN. For VBDIF interfaces, use display bridge-domain bd-id to view detailed physical interface information .Checking Interface IPsTo view IP addresses assigned to the switch interfaces themselves, use:CodeCopydisplay interface brief This command provides a summary of all interfaces, their IP addresses, and operational status, helping you quickly identify which interfaces are active and configured .VLAN and Virtual Interface IPsIf your switch uses VLANs, each VLAN interface (VLANIF) can have an IP address. To check these:CodeCopydisplay vlandisplay interface Vlanif This shows the VLAN configuration and the IP assigned to the virtual interface, which is essential for routing and management access .Additional Useful CommandsMAC Address Table: display mac-address – maps MAC addresses to switch ports .LLDP Neighbors: display lldp neighbor – identifies neighboring devices and their interfaces .User Access: display users – lists users currently logged into the switch .Steps to Access the CLIConnect via SSH, Telnet, or console port.Enter system-view mode:CodeCopysystem-view Run the relevant commands above to view IPs, interfaces, and VLANs.Exit with quit and save configurations with save if changes are made . By combining these commands, you can effectively monitor and manage IP addresses on Huawei switches, identify connected devices, and troubleshoot network connectivity issues.
