For replacement check \fBip neigh\fR. + +.SH DESCRIPTION +.B Arp +manipulates or displays the kernel's IPv4 network neighbour cache. It can add +entries to the table, delete one or display the current content. + +.B ARP +stands for Address Resolution Protocol, which is used to find the media +access control address of a network neighbour for a given IPv4 Address. +.SH MODES +.B arp +with no mode specifier will print the current content of the table. It is +possible to limit the number of entries printed, by specifying an hardware +address type, interface name or host address. + +.B arp -d +.I address +will delete a ARP table entry. Root or netadmin privilege is required to do +this. The entry is found by IP address. If a hostname is given, it will be +resolved before looking up the entry in the ARP table. + +.B arp -s +.I address hw_addr +is used to set up a new table entry. The format of the +.I hw_addr +parameter is dependent on the hardware class, but for most classes one can +assume that the usual presentation can be used. For the Ethernet class, +this is 6 bytes in hexadecimal, separated by colons. When adding proxy arp +entries (that is those with the +.BR pub lish +flag set) a +.B netmask +may be specified to proxy arp for entire subnets. This is not good +practice, but is supported by older kernels because it can be +useful. If the +.B temp +flag is not supplied entries will be permanent stored into the ARP +cache. To simplify setting up entries for one of your own network interfaces, you can use the +.B "arp \-Ds" +.I address ifname +form. In that case the hardware address is taken from the interface with the +specified name. + +.br +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.B "\-v, \-\-verbose" +Tell the user what is going on by being verbose. +.TP +.B "\-n, \-\-numeric" +shows numerical addresses instead of trying to determine symbolic host, port +or user names. +.TP +\fB\-H\fI type\fR, \fB\-\-hw\-type\fI type\fR, \fB\-t\fI type\fR +When setting or reading the ARP cache, this optional parameter tells +.B arp +which class of entries it should check for. The default value of +this parameter is +.B ether +(i.e. hardware code 0x01 for IEEE 802.3 10Mbps Ethernet). +Other values might include network technologies such as +.RB "ARCnet (" arcnet ")" +, +.RB "PROnet (" pronet ")" +, +.RB "AX.25 (" ax25 ")" +and +.RB "NET/ROM (" netrom ")." +.TP +.B \-a +Use alternate BSD style output format (with no fixed columns). +.TP +.B \-e +Use default Linux style output format (with fixed columns). +.TP +.B "\-D, \-\-use-device" +Instead of a hw_addr, the given argument is the name of an interface. +.B arp +will use the MAC address of that interface for the table entry. This is usually the best option to set up a proxy ARP entry to yourself. +.TP +\fB\-i\fI If\fR, \fB\-\-device\fI If\fR +Select an interface. When dumping the ARP cache only entries matching +the specified interface will be printed. When setting a permanent or +.B temp +ARP entry this interface will be associated with the entry; if this +option is not used, the kernel will guess based on the routing +table. For +.B pub +entries the specified interface is the interface on which ARP requests will +be answered. +.br +.B NOTE: +This has to be different from the interface to which the IP +datagrams will be routed. +.B NOTE: +As of kernel 2.2.0 it is no longer possible to set an ARP entry for an +entire subnet. Linux instead does automagic proxy arp when a route +exists and it is forwarding. See +.BR arp (7) +for details. Also the +.B dontpub +option which is available for delete and set operations cannot be +used with 2.4 and newer kernels. +.TP +\fB\-f\fI filename\fR, \fB\-\-file\fI filename\fR +Similar to the +.B \-s +option, only this time the address info is taken from file +.IR filename . +This can be used if ARP entries for a lot of hosts have to be +set up. The name of the data file is very often +.IR /etc/ethers , +but this is not official. If no filename is specified +.I /etc/ethers +is used as default. +.sp 1 +The format of the file is simple; it +only contains ASCII text lines with a hostname, and a hardware +address separated by whitespace. Additionally the +.BR "pub" , " temp" " and" " netmask" +flags can be used. +.LP +In all places where a +.B hostname +is expected, one can also enter an +.B "IP address" +in dotted-decimal notation. +.P +As a special case for compatibility the order of the hostname and +the hardware address can be exchanged. +.LP +Each complete entry in the ARP cache will be marked with the +.B C +flag. Permanent entries are marked with +.B M +and published entries have the +.B P +flag. +.SH EXAMPLES +.B /usr/sbin/arp -i eth0 -Ds 10.0.0.2 eth1 pub + +This will answer ARP requests for 10.0.0.2 on eth0 with the MAC address for +eth1. + +.B /usr/sbin/arp -i eth1 -d 10.0.0.1 + +Delete the ARP table entry for 10.0.0.1 on interface eth1. This will match +published proxy ARP entries and permanent entries. +.SH FILES +.I /proc/net/arp +.br +.I /etc/networks +.br +.I /etc/hosts +.br +.I /etc/ethers +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR ip(8) +.SH AUTHORS +Fred N. van Kempen <waltje@uwalt.nl.mugnet.org>, Bernd Eckenfels <net\-tools@lina.inka.de>. |
