arp table-MCSG

[Rgomes]

Hi all,

How can remove a permanent entry from arp table.

I used this command:

arp -D hostname

But could not remove. Any Idea?

Thanks

Richard

I take it you are trying to remove the arp entry for a local lan card ? in which case you must down the lan card first, then arp -D it. (ifconfig down)

Should be

arp -d hostname

(small d)

Note that you must use the IP address instead of the hostname if the host has already been deleted from the DNS and/or the /etc/hosts
