After the program execution is completed, on ARP table update (in the
ARP tab), the information about the device in question will be displayed.
Test configuration is performed by filling out following fields:
• Destination — target node IP address for ARP request.
• Number of arping — is used to configure a certain quantity of ARP
requests.
• Interface — displays interface name to work with. Default interface
is defined by routing configuration. Changing of interface name is per-

functional key.
Test execution starts on pressing the Start button or F6 functional key.
