arping − Ping <address> on device <interface> by ARP packets, using source address <source>.
arping [ −D ] [ −U ] [ −A ] [ −c count ] [ −w timeout ] [ −q ] [ −s source ] −I interface address
Ping <address> on device <interface> by ARP packets, using source address <source>.
-c count
number of pings.
-w timeout
stop after this time.
-q |
do not print any messages. | ||
-D |
duplicate address detection mode. Returns 0, if DAD suceeded i.e. no replies are received. | ||
-U |
Unsolicited ARP mode to update neighbours’ ARP caches. | ||
-A |
The same as -U , but ARP REPLY packets used instead of ARP REQUEST. |
If -s option is absent, source address is:
1. In normal mode calculated from routing tables. 2. In DAD (-D) mode set to 0.0.0.0 3. In Unsilicited ARP mode (-U,-A) set to <address>
GENERAL NOTE: all these applets, except for tracepath[6] should be excecutabel only with CAP_NET_RAWIO capability. To all that I know, they are safe to be used as setuid root.
