Viewing the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Cache


This task describes how to view the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache, which consists of the Internet-to-Ethernet address translation tables. ARP is a TCP/IP protocol used to obtain a network node's physical address (the Machine Access Control address). The ARP cache is a list of each network device, its IP address, mask, and physical address.

To View the ARP Cache

  1. Access the NETWORK application instance menu as described in Accessing KM Commands and InfoBoxes.
  2. Select TCP/IP > Utilities > ARP > Show ARP cache. BMC PATROL writes the results to a BMC PATROL task object (Show ARP Cache) in the NETWORK container.
  3. Access the Show ARP Cache task object as described in Accessing KM Commands and InfoBoxes and view the results. Your results should resemble this example:
