I seem to remember that there is a HPUX command you can run which will test the connectivity to a MAC address on another machine, (on same subnet?) ... i.e. you run the command and it basically says whether the system can see the remote MAC address, (kinda like ping but at a lower level).
Does anyone have any pointers to what the command is?
Thanks
Tim
Solved! Go to Solution.

Solution/usr/sbin/linkloop -i
NMID - select network interface to use
count - number of frames to transmit
You can get MAC address of the remote system with /usr/sbin/lanscan.
