  • Ping a host by ARP request packets:
    arping host_ip
  • Ping a host on a specific interface:
    arping -I interface host_ip
  • Ping a host and stop at the first reply:
    arping -f host_ip
  • Ping a host a specific number of times:
    arping -c count host_ip
  • Broadcast ARP request packets to update neighbours' ARP caches:
    arping -U ip_to_broadcast
  • Detect duplicated IP addresses in the network by sending ARP requests with a 3 second timeout:
    arping -D -w 3 ip_to_check
