ARPING(8) iputils ARPING(8)
arping - send ARP REQUEST to a neighbour host
arping [-AbDfhqUV] [-c count] [-w deadline] [-i interval]
[-s source] [-I interface] {destination}
Ping destination on device interface by ARP packets, using source
address source.
arping supports IPv4 addresses only. For IPv6, see ndisc6(8).
-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 broadcast, and switch to unicast after reply
received.
-c count
Stop after sending count ARP REQUEST packets. With deadline
option, instead wait for count ARP REPLY packets, or 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.
-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. If any
replies are received, exit with status 0, otherwise status 1.
When combined with the count option, exit with status 0 if
count replies are received before the deadline expiration,
otherwise status 1.
-i interval
Specify an interval, in seconds, between packets.
ndisc6(8), ping(8), clockdiff(8), tracepath(8).
arping was written by Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru>.
arping requires CAP_NET_RAW 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.
arping is part of iputils package.
