This *Command displays and can modify the Internet-to-Physical-address translation tables located in the Internet module which are used by the address resolution protocol, ARP.
*ARP <host_>
*ARP -a
*ARP –d <host_>
*ARP –s <host_> <_phys_addr> [temp] [pub]
*ARP -f <filename>
host | Internet host specified either by name (which must be present in the host name data base InetDBase$Path hosts) or by address (using the standard Internet dot notation) |
–a | Display all the ARP entries currently in its table |
–d | Delete an entry for host |
-s | Create an ARP entry for the host called host with the physical address phys_addr. The entry will be permanent unless the word temp is given in the command. The entry will be `published’ if the word pub is given. This system will then act as an ARP or Reverse ARP server, responding to requests for host’s physical address even though the host address is not its own |
phys_addr | Physical address of host given in Ethernet format (ie six hexadecimal bytes separated by colons) |
–f | Cause the file filename to be read and multiple entries to be set in the ARP tables |
filename | Valid pathname specifying a file containing multiple entries to be set in the ARP table |
Without flags, the command displays the current ARP entry for the host.
If you don’t know the physical address of an interface, you can use the *InetInfo command to find it.
