NAME

arp - address resolution display and control

SYNOPSIS

arp hostname

arp -a

arp -d hostname

arp -s hostname ether_address [ temp ] [ pub ]

arp -x interface vpi vci

DESCRIPTION

The arp program displays and modifies the Internet-toEthernet address translation tables used by the address resolution protocol.

When an ATM interface is present, arp also displays and modifies the Internet address to ATM virtual circuit translation tables used by the ATM address resolution protocol.

With no flags, the program displays the current ARP entry for hostname. The host may be specified by name or by number, using Internet dot notation.

OPTIONS

-a
The program displays all of the current ARP entries.

-d
Delete an entry for the host called hostname.

If the ARP entry for this destination host corresponds to an entry in the ATM arp table, the outgoing virtual circuit to this destination host called hostname is terminated, and the entry deleted.

-s
Create an ARP entry for the host called hostname with the Ethernet address ether_address. 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. Temporary entries that consist of a complete Internet address and a matching Ethernet address are flushed from the arp table if they haven't been referenced in the past 20 minutes. A permanent entry is not flushed. If the word pub is given, the entry will be "published"; i.e., this system will act as an ARP server, responding to requests for hostname even though the host address is not its own.

-x
Detach the IP layer from an incoming ATM virtual circuit. IP traffic will no longer be accepted on the specified VPI vpi and VCI vci for the specified interface interface.

NOTES

Data ONTAP does not support trailer encapsulations.
