.TH "ARPING" "8" "24 Mayıs 2011" "iputils-101006" "System Manager's Manual: iputils"
|
||
.SH NAME
|
||
arping \- send ARP REQUEST to a neighbour host
|
||
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
||
\fBarping\fR [ \fB-AbDfhqUV\fR] [ \fB-c \fIcount\fB\fR] [ \fB-w \fIdeadline\fB\fR] [ \fB-s \fIsource\fB\fR] \fB-I \fIinterface\fB\fR \fB\fIdestination\fB\fR
|
||
|
||
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
||
.PP
|
||
Ping \fIdestination\fR on device \fIinterface\fR by ARP packets,
|
||
using source address \fIsource\fR.
|
||
.SH "OPTIONS"
|
||
.TP
|
||
\fB-A\fR
|
||
The same as \fB-U\fR, but ARP REPLY packets used instead
|
||
of ARP REQUEST.
|
||
.TP
|
||
\fB-b\fR
|
||
Send only MAC level broadcasts. Normally \fBarping\fR starts
|
||
from sending broadcast, and switch to unicast after reply received.
|
||
.TP
|
||
\fB-c \fIcount\fB\fR
|
||
Stop after sending \fIcount\fR ARP REQUEST
|
||
packets. With
|
||
\fIdeadline\fR
|
||
option, \fBarping\fR waits for
|
||
\fIcount\fR ARP REPLY packets, until the timeout expires.
|
||
.TP
|
||
\fB-D\fR
|
||
Duplicate address detection mode (DAD). See
|
||
RFC2131, 4.4.1.
|
||
Returns 0, if DAD succeeded i.e. no replies are received
|
||
.TP
|
||
\fB-f\fR
|
||
Finish after the first reply confirming that target is alive.
|
||
.TP
|
||
\fB-I \fIinterface\fB\fR
|
||
Name of network device where to send ARP REQUEST packets. This option
|
||
is required.
|
||
.TP
|
||
\fB-h\fR
|
||
Print help page and exit.
|
||
.TP
|
||
\fB-q\fR
|
||
Quiet output. Nothing is displayed.
|
||
.TP
|
||
\fB-s \fIsource\fB\fR
|
||
IP source address to use in ARP packets.
|
||
If this option is absent, source address is:
|
||
.RS
|
||
.TP 0.2i
|
||
\(bu
|
||
In DAD mode (with option \fB-D\fR) set to 0.0.0.0.
|
||
.TP 0.2i
|
||
\(bu
|
||
In Unsolicited ARP mode (with options \fB-U\fR or \fB-A\fR)
|
||
set to \fIdestination\fR.
|
||
.TP 0.2i
|
||
\(bu
|
||
Otherwise, it is calculated from routing tables.
|
||
.RE
|
||
.TP
|
||
\fB-U\fR
|
||
Unsolicited ARP mode to update neighbours' ARP caches.
|
||
No replies are expected.
|
||
.TP
|
||
\fB-V\fR
|
||
Print version of the program and exit.
|
||
.TP
|
||
\fB-w \fIdeadline\fB\fR
|
||
Specify a timeout, in seconds, before
|
||
\fBarping\fR
|
||
exits regardless of how many
|
||
packets have been sent or received. In this case
|
||
\fBarping\fR
|
||
does not stop after
|
||
\fIcount\fR
|
||
packet are sent, it waits either for
|
||
\fIdeadline\fR
|
||
expire or until
|
||
\fIcount\fR
|
||
probes are answered.

.SH "SECURITY"
|
||
.PP
|
||
\fBarping\fR 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.
|
||
.SH "AVAILABILITY"

|

\fBarping\fR is part of \fIiputils\fR package
