Below is the output of show pfe route ip.

1. what does type Resolve mean ?

2. Does Recv mean desination address is on the box. For entry 2 is the prefix /32 ?

3. What is Local entry ? how is it different from Recv

1. what does type Resolve mean ?

My understanding of type Resolve is that it is similar to a Direct address in the normal routing table - any traffic bound for a host this prefix needs to be ARP'ed for and when an appropritate MAC is received, the host address address is placed in the Next-Hop entry with a type of Unicast.

2. Does Recv mean desination address is on the box. For entry 2 is the prefix /32 ?

No - that is Local.  Recv seems to be some sort of marker for the network address of a subnet (since there is no mask attached to it)

3. What is Local entry ? how is it different from Recv

The local type is the same as a local route in your routing table - it is an interface address (/32) that is bound to an interface on this box - in your case, it is the address of interface vlan.824

thanks Ben.

Any idea what network mask could RECV indicate ?

I don't think it's a prefix, so it doesn't need a mask - I think it is just the "network" address.  Use the Resolve address if you want to know the mask

These are the entries from the "show pfe route ip" . So what I understand is 

First we have a Resolve Entry which is a network adress along with the prefix and then followed by addresses in that subnet (including unicast and broadcast). Is my interpretation correct ?

also destination like 128.174.38.70, 128.174.38.81 have the same value for their NextHop  so they are directly connected right ?

2. Also some entries are of form : 

dfex : can you help me confirming if my understanding is correct.
