 105            You can use the -n option with the -a option  to  dis-
 106            able the automatic numeric IP address-to-name transla-
 107            tion. Use arp -an or arp -na  to  display  numeric  IP
 108            addresses. The arp -a option is equivalent to:
 109 
 110              # netstat -p -f inet
 111 
 112 
 113            ...and -an and -na are equivalent to:
 114 
 115              # netstat -pn -f inet

 119 
 120      -d    Delete an entry for the host called hostname.

 137      -f    Read the file named filename and set multiple  entries
 138            in  the  ARP  tables. Entries in the file should be of
 139            the form:
 140 
 141              hostname MACaddress [temp] [pub] [trail] [permanent]


 150            colons.  The  entry will not be subject to deletion by
 151            aging unless the word temp is specified  in  the  com-
 152            mand.  If the word pub is specified, the entry will be
 153            published, which means that this system  will  respond
 154            to  ARP requests for hostname even though the hostname
 155            is not its own. The word permanent indicates that  the
 156            system  will  not accept MAC address changes for host-
 157            name from the network.
 158 
 159            Solaris does not implement trailer encapsulation,  and
 160            the  word trail is accepted on entries for compatibil-
 161            ity only.
 162 
 163            arp -s can be used for a limited  form  of  proxy  ARP
 164            when  a  host on one of the directly attached networks
 165            is not physically present on a subnet. Another machine
 166            can  then  be  configured  to  respond to ARP requests
 167            using arp -s. This is useful in  certain  SLIP  confi-
 168            gurations.

 165            arp -s can be used for a limited  form  of  proxy  ARP
 166            when  a  host on one of the directly attached networks
 167            is not physically present on a subnet. Another machine
 168            can  then  be  configured  to  respond to ARP requests
 169            using arp -s. This is useful in  certain  SLIP  confi-
 170            gurations.
 171 
 172            Non-temporary proxy ARP entries for  an IPMP group are
 173            automatically managed by the kernel.  Specifically, if
 174            the hardware address  in an entry matches the hardware
 175            address of an IP  interface in an  IPMP group, and the
 176            IP  address is not local to   the system, this will be
 177            regarded as an IPMP proxy  ARP entry.  This entry will
 178            have  its hardware address  automatically adjusted  in
 179            order to keep the IP address  reachable so long as the
 180            IPMP group has not entirely failed.
 181 
 182            ARP entries  must be consistent  across an IPMP group.
 183            Therefore, ARP   entries  cannot be   associated  with
 184            individual underlying  IP interfaces in an IPMP group,
 185            and must  instead be associated with the corresponding
 186            IPMP IP interface.
 187 
 188            Note that ARP entries for IPMP data and test addresses
 189            are managed by the kernel, and thus cannot be changed.
