== NAME ==

arpsend −
utility to send ARP requests.

== SYNOPSIS ==

arpsend <
-U -i source_ip | -D
-e target_ip
[-e target_ip] ... > [-c
count] [-w timeout]
interface

== DESCRIPTION ==

Utility
arpsend sends ARP packets on device interface
to detect or update neighbours’ ARP caches with a
given IP.

== COMMANDS ==

Run utility
with one of the following commands:

<table width="100%" border="0" rules="none" frame="void"
cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr valign="top" align="left">
<td width="11%"></td>
<td width="3%">

-D</td>
<td width="8%"></td>
<td width="78%">

Send broadcast ARP request to detect neighbours with
target_ip. You have to specify target_ip
(-e option).</td></tr>
<tr valign="top" align="left">
<td width="11%"></td>
<td width="3%">

-U</td>
<td width="8%"></td>
<td width="78%">

Send broadcast ARP request to update neighbours’
ARP caches with source_ip. You have to specify
source_ip (-i option).</td></tr>
</table>

== OPTIONS ==

-c
count

Number of packets to send.
Default is infinity.

-w interval

Interval between packets, in
seconds. Default is 1 second.

-i
source_ip_address

Set source IP address field in
ARP packet.

-e
target_ip_address

Set target IP address field in
ARP packet. Note that you can specify -e option
multiple times to detect many IP addresses in one utility
call.

== DIAGNOSTICS ==

arpsend
returns 0 upon successful execution. If something goes
wrong, it returns an appropriate error code. 
1 EXC_USAGE

Usage error

2 EXC_SYSTEM

System error

3 EXC_RECV

ARP reply was received

== EXAMPLES ==

To send request
on interface eth0 to detect any neighbour computers
with IP 192.168.10.200: <tt> 
arpsend -D -e 192.168.10.200 eth0</tt>

To send request
on interface eth0 to update neighbours’ ARP
caches with IP 192.168.10.200: <tt> 
arpsend -U -i 192.168.10.200 eth0</tt>

== NOTES ==

Interface you
use have to be arpable and not be loopback (i.e. /sbin/ip
link show interface should show neither
NOARP not LOOPBACK flags in interface
parameters).
