This is a view of the network Address Resolution Protocol cache for the system (tested on IPv4 only).

Host addresses are looked up and converted to official names when possible.

Hardware addresses are decoded, with a full name (from the /etc/ethers file if present, read once when the application is started), or with the manufacturer name for the first 3 bytes (from the manuf.txt file in the arp module sub directory).
Note: you may update the manuf.txt file yourself by opening it from the http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/ page and saving it as a text file under the manuf.txt name in the arp module sub directory (no editing needed).

Module options:

• -n (--numeric)
  display numerical addresses instead of trying to determine symbolic host or network names.
• -r (--remote) [[rsh|ssh]://][user@]host
  remote monitoring using user as logname on remote host host (rsh or ssh facilities must be properly setup). If user is not specified, current user is used as logname on remote host. The protocol is either ssh or rsh (used by default). The module title is set to arp(host).
  When there is a communication error with the remote host, all rows disappear and the displayed table becomes empty. A descriptive error message is also generated in such a case.

Examples:

$ moodss arp --numeric
$ moodss -- arp -n
$ moodss arp -r jdoe@foo.bar.com
$ moodss arp --remote rsh://jdoe@foo.bar.com
$ moodss arp -r ssh://jdoe@foo.bar.com
$ moodss arp --remote foo.bar.com
