arping

Discover and probe hosts in a network using the ARP protocol. Useful for MAC address discovery. More information: https://github.com/ThomasHabets/arping.

• Ping a host by ARP request packets:
   
  arping {{host_ip}}
   
• Ping a host on a specific interface:
   
  arping -I {{interface}} {{host_ip}}
   
• Ping a host and stop at the first reply:
   
  arping -f {{host_ip}}
   
• Ping a host a specific number of times:
   
  arping -c {{count}} {{host_ip}}
   
• Broadcast ARP request packets to update neighbours' ARP caches:
   
  arping -U {{ip_to_broadcast}}
   
• Detect duplicated IP addresses in the network by sending ARP requests with a 3 second timeout:
   
  arping -D -w {{3}} {{ip_to_check}}
