One request is sent each second\&.

When pinging an IP an ARP who-has query is sent\&. When pinging a MAC
15
address a directed broadcast ICMP Echo request is sent\&. For more

technical explaination and an FAQ, see the README file\&.

ARP packets are usually replied to (on a LAN) so fast that the OS task

Use this option to ping with source IP address 0\&.0\&.0\&.0\&. Use this
39
when you haven\&'t configured your interface yet\&.
40
Note that this may get the MAC-ping unanswered\&.
41
This is an alias for -S 0\&.0\&.0\&.0\&.
45
Only count addresses matching requested address (This *WILL*
46
break most things you do\&. Only useful if you are arpinging many
47
hosts at once\&. See arping-scan-net\&.sh for an example)\&.
49
Like -0 but source broadcast source address (255\&.255\&.255\&.255)\&.
50
Note that this may get the arping unanswered since it\&'s not normal behavior
53
Use instead of host if you want to address 255\&.255\&.255\&.255\&.
55
Only send \fIcount\fP requests\&.
57
Find duplicate replies\&.
59
Don\&'t try to be smart about the interface name\&. (even if this
60
switch is not given, -i overrides smartness\&.

Does not display messages, except error messages\&.

Verbose output\&. Use twice for more messages\&.

Raw output: only the MAC/IP address is displayed for each reply\&.

Raw output: Like -r but shows "the other one", can be combined with

Use instead of host if you want to address 255\&.255\&.255\&.255\&.

Use this option to ping with source IP address 0\&.0\&.0\&.0\&. Use this

Like -0 but source broadcast source address (255\&.255\&.255\&.255)\&.

Note that this may get the arping unanswered since it\&'s not normal behavior
73
Set source MAC address\&. You may need to use -p with this\&.
60
75
Like -b and -0 but with set source address\&.
61
76
Note that this may get the arping unanswered if the target does not have
62
77
routing to the IP\&. If you don\&'t own the IP you are using, you may need to turn
63
78
on promiscious mode on the interface (with -p)\&. With this switch you can find
64
79
out what IP-address a host has without taking an IP-address yourself\&.
81
Set target MAC address to use when pinging IP address\&.
66
83
Use -T as target address when pinging MACs that won\&'t

respond to a broadcast ping but perhaps to a directed broadcast\&.

Turn on promiscious mode on interface, use this if you don\&'t

Set source MAC address\&. You may need to use -p with this\&.

Set target MAC address to use when pinging IP address\&.
