ARP Wiz

ARP Wiz uses the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) to verify the status of each IP address in a user-selectable IP range. ARP is the standard method for finding a host's hardware address when only its network layer address is known. In other words, ARP is used primarily to translate IP addresses to Ethernet MAC addresses. ARP is defined in RFC826.

ARP Setup

Configure the following parameters and press Start. The test will continue to run until Stop is pressed. A finished status indication will display when the test finishes.

  • Profile: Default, Delete, Save, or Save As...
    • Start IP: Starting IP Address.
    • End IP: Ending IP Address.
    • Time Out(s): Range from 1-99 seconds. Input using the numeric keypad.

ARP Result

The MAC addresses associated with active IP addresses in the range are displayed. If no MAC address is associated with the IP address, a FAILED status is displayed.

ARP Wiz uses the ARP protocol and can only work within the same subnet as the IP address provided to the test set in IP Status
