ARPING(8)              System Manager’s Manual: iputils              ARPING(8)



NAME
       arping - send ARP REQUEST to a neighbour host

SYNOPSIS
       arping [ -AbDfhqUV]  [ -c count]  [ -w deadline]  [ -s source]  -I interface desti-
       nation


DESCRIPTION
       Ping destination on device interface by ARP packets, using source address source.

OPTIONS
       -A     The same as -U, but ARP REPLY packets used instead of ARP REQUEST.

       -b     Send only MAC level broadcasts. Normally arping starts from  sending  broad-
              cast, and switch to unicast after reply received.

       -c count
              Stop  after  sending count ARP REQUEST packets. With deadline option, arping
              waits for count ARP REPLY packets, until the timeout expires.

       -D     Duplicate address detection mode (DAD). See RFC2131, 4.4.1.  Returns  0,  if
              DAD succeeded i.e. no replies are received

       -f     Finish after the first reply confirming that target is alive.

       -I interface
              Name  of  network  device  where to send ARP REQUEST packets. This option is
              required.

       -h     Print help page and exit.

       -q     Quiet output. Nothing is displayed.

       -s source
              IP source address to use in ARP packets.  If this option is  absent,  source
              address is:

              · In DAD mode (with option -D) set to 0.0.0.0.

              · In Unsolicited ARP mode (with options -U or -A) set to destination.

              · Otherwise, it is calculated from routing tables.

       -U     Unsolicited  ARP  mode  to  update  neighbours’  ARP caches.  No replies are
              expected.

       -V     Print version of the program and exit.

       -w deadline
              Specify a timeout, in seconds, before arping exits regardless  of  how  many
              packets  have been sent or received. In this case arping does not stop after
              count packet are sent, it waits either for deadline expire  or  until  count
              probes are answered.

SEE ALSO
       ping(8), clockdiff(8), tracepath(8).

SECURITY
       arping  requires  CAP_NET_RAWIO capability to be executed. It is not recommended to
       be used as set-uid root, because it allows user to modify ARP caches  of  neighbour
       hosts.

AVAILABILITY
       arping  is part of iputils package and the latest versions are  available in source
       form for anonymous ftp ftp://ftp.inr.ac.ru/ip-routing/iputils-current.tar.gz.
