NAME
       arping - send ARP REQUEST to a neighbour host

SYNOPSIS
       arping [-AbDfhqUV] [-c count] [-w deadline] [-s source] {-I interface}
	      {destination}

DESCRIPTION
       Ping destination on device interface by ARP packets, using  source  ad‐
       dress source.

OPTIONS
       -A     The  same	 as  -U, but ARP REPLY packets used instead of ARP RE‐
	      QUEST.

       -b     Send only MAC level  broadcasts.	Normally  arping  starts  from
	      sending broadcast, and switch to unicast after reply received.

       Stop after sending count ARP REQUEST
	      packets.	With  deadline	[arping(8)]  option,  arping waits for
	      count ARP REPLY packets, until the timeout expires.

       -D     Duplicate address detection mode (DAD). See RFC2131, 4.4.1
	      ⟨http://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2131.txt⟩  .   Returns  0,	if DAD
	      succeeded i.e. no replies are received

       -f     Finish after the first reply confirming that target is alive.

       Name of network device where to send ARP REQUEST packets.

       -h     Print help page and exit.

       -q     Quiet output. Nothing is displayed.

       IP source address to use in ARP packets.
	      If this option is absent, source address is:

	      · In DAD mode (with option -D) set to 0.0.0.0.

	      · In Unsolicited ARP mode (with options -U or -A) set to	desti‐
		nation.

	      · Otherwise, it is calculated from routing tables.

       -U     Unsolicited  ARP	mode  to  update  neighbours'  ARP caches.  No
	      replies are expected.

       -V     Print version of the program and exit.

       Specify a timeout, in seconds, before
	      arping exits regardless of how many packets have	been  sent  or
	      received.	 In  this  case arping does not stop after count [arp‐
	      ing(8)] packet are sent, it  waits  either  for  deadline	 [arp‐
	      ing(8)] expire or until count [arping(8)] probes are answered.

AUTHOR
       arping was written by Alexey Kuznetsov kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru

SECURITY
       arping requires CAP_NET_RAW capability to be executed. It is not recom‐
       mended to be used as set-uid root, because it allows user to modify ARP
       caches of neighbour hosts.

AVAILABILITY
       arping is part of iputils package and the latest versions are available
       in   source   form    at	   ⟨http://www.skbuff.net/iputils/iputils-cur‐
       rent.tar.bz2⟩.
