# arping
> Discover and probe hosts in a network using the ARP protocol.
> Useful for MAC addres discovery.
- Ping a host by ARP request packets:
`arping {{host_ip}}`
- Ping a host on a specific interface:
`arping -I {{interface}} {{host_ip}}`
- Ping a host and stop at the first reply:
`arping -f {{host_ip}}`
- Ping a host a specific number of times:
`arping -c {{count}} {{host_ip}}`
- Broadcast ARP request packets to update neighbours' ARP caches:
`arping -U {{your_ip}}`
- Determine whether an IP address is already in use in the network by sending it ARP requests with a 3 seconds timeout:
`arping -D -f -w {{3}} {{target_ip}}`
