Confirming ARP Requests

3-6 6400 Computer TCP/IP Client User's Guide
The following machines can accept ARP requests:
Another 6400 TCP/IP client
"
A UNIX host
"
Any other host that supports a TCP/IP protocol stack
"
If you are unsure if your 6400 computer is sending ARP
requests to these hosts, test the transmission and receipt of
requests.
To test transmission of ARP requests:
Use ping -z IP address.
"
Use inet arp. For example:
"
C:\inet arp
ARP cache:
128.127.52.141: 0080c0205516 expires: 259 sec.
128.127.52.30: 08004c5e8c1a expires: 782 sec.
128.127.57.30: 08006a022aea expires: 527 sec.
The ARP cache displays entries for each network device
that has recently sent or replied to an ARP request. The
entries specify each host's IP address, the corresponding
hardware address, and expiration information.
Look in the ARP cache listing for the target computer's IP
address and MAC address. If this information is in the
listing, your 6400 computer is sending ARP requests and
the target machine received those requests.
