Show mac-address table on custom interface in FreeBSD and Linux

Question

On switches I can show mac addresses on any port by "show mac-address-table port X" Is there any way to do this on FreeBSD and Linux systems?

Try the arp -a command, at least this works on FreeBSD.

what about pppoe server. There is no IPs, so ARP table will be empty. – carcinogen75 Jun 06 '13 at 12:11
