"Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)" is a command used to display and modify entries in the Address Resolution Protocol cache. The cache contains one or more tables that store the IP addresses and their resolved Ethernet or Token Ring physical addresses. Each Ethernet or Token Ring network adapter on a computer has its own separate table. When used without parameters, the ARP command displays help information.
The command is only available when the TCP/IP protocol stack is installed as part of the network adapter properties in a network connection.
The "arp -s InetAddr EtherAddr [IfaceAddr]" command adds a static item to the ARP cache that resolves IP address InetAddr to physical address EtherAddr. To add a static ARP cache item to a specific interface table, use the IfaceAddr parameter which represents the IP address assigned to that interface.
Common uses include:
-arp -a Ip
-To display ARP cache entries related to a specific interface by specifying its IP address in combination with -a command.
-arp -s Ip physical address
-To add a static item to ARP cache manually. This item will remain valid during system boot or will be updated automatically with manual configuration when an error occurs.
