NAME

DESCRIPTION
The arp program displays and modifies the Internet-to-Ethernet address translation tables used by
the address resolution protocol ( arp( 4p)).
With no flags, the program displays the current ARP entry for h08tname. With the -a flag, the
program displays all of the current ARP entries by reading the table from the file kmem (default
/dev /kmem) based on the kernel file vmuniz (default /vmunix).
With the -d flag, a super-user may delete an entry for the host called h08tname.
The -a flag is given to create an ARP entry for the host called h08tname with the Ethernet
address ether _addr. The Ethernet address is given as six hex bytes separated by colons. The
entry will
be
permanent unless the word temp is given in the command. If the word pub is
given, the entry will be "published", e.g., this system will respond to ARP requests for h08tname
even though the hostname is not its own.
The
-t
flag causes the file filename to be read and multiple entries to be set in the ARP tables.
Entries in the file should be of the form
h08tname ether_addr [ temp) [ pub)
with argument meanings as given above.
