hi
From mt windows machine I can ping a LINUX machine but there is no arp entry for the same LINUX on my windows.
How is it possible and what can I do to add the arp entry as I need it.
thanks
Hello,
Could you please use the following code and let us know if that helps you.
arp -sip_addressmac_address
[*]Retrieve the IP address and MAC address of the device that requires the ARP entry.
[*]From Windows Server command prompt, run ipconfig/all command.
[*]From Solaris and Linux command prompt, run ifconfig -a command.
[*]From the Navigation pane, choose Config > Networking.
[*]In the Advanced drop-down list, select ARP.
[*]Click the Add button. A new row appears in the Static ARP Entries table.
[*]Specify the IP address and MAC address of the device, then click Save.
[*]If the entry is for a misconfigured client, clear the client's ARP table. For ARP to be efficient, each computer caches IP-to-MAC address mappings to eliminate repetitive ARP broadcast requests. There are various public scripts that use the arp command to do the trick.
[*]From any network computer, test that the entry is working. From a command prompt, run arp -a command.
Note:
Where ip_address specifies of a local TCP/IP node.
mac address defines Media Access Control address for a for a network adapter installed and used on the local TCP/IP node.
Also this will work until the next reboot for system.
