Printing the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Table
The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) ties Ethernet addresses, which are unique for every Ethernet device, to IP addresses. Here is a utility to print all the ARP entries corresponding to a given network line name, which can be helpful in debugging or documenting your network. The utility uses the QtocLstPhyIfcARPTbl API, which is documented at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r2/ic2924/info/apis/qtoclstphyifcarptbl.htm . To learn more about ARP, download the helpful "TCP/IP Tutorial and Technical Overview" at http://publib-b.boulder.ibm.com/redbooks.nsf/RedbookAbstracts/gg243376.html?Open . Lastly, you can download the utility from http://www.iseriesnetwork.com/noderesources/code/clubtechcode/PrintARP.zip .
