Displaying dynamic ARP entries
The following command can be used to display the dynamically learned ARP entries on an IP interface or on
the entire system.
Flushing dynamic ARP entries
The following command can be used to flush the dynamically learned ARP entries on an IP interface or on the
entire system.
Testing connections with the ping command
As an aid to diagnosing basic network connectivity, many network protocols support an echo protocol. The
protocol involves sending a special datagram to the destination host, then waiting for a reply datagram from
that host. Results from this echo protocol can help in evaluating the path-to-host reliability, delays over the
path, and whether the host can be accessed or is functioning.
Mode: Either operator or administrator execution
Where the parameters are defined as follows:
•
[<number>]
optional parameter which indicates how many pings are sent
•
[timeout <seconds>]
optional parameter which indicates the time-out period of the ping
•
[packet-size <packet-size>]
optional parameter which indicates the number of octets in the ping
•
[ttl <ttl>]
optional parameter which indicates the time-to-live value
