It is on the same subnet.
Theoretically yes, broadcast ping should work, but many common operating systems and hardware bridges block or ignore broadcast ping -- or any ping -- as a matter of course now.
I can see how it could get the pinger's MAC into other people's ARP tables, but can't see see how broadcast ping gets other MAC's into my ARP table when they don't reply.

Dear all,
We are testing two of our servers for mq series connectivity. The scenario is, when one machine is shutting down it's services there are some scripts that do a dns update, which removes the ip address and relates it to the ip address of the other node on our dns server, and the update...

I'm running an arp -an on a Solaris 10 box. We're using IPMP. One of the systems is not able to see a host on the same network. The only difference between the two systems (one is having a problem, the other isn't) at least so far is the output of arp:

I've connected host1-eth1 to host2-eth0. host1-eth0 isn't connected.

Any idea why host1... (2 Replies)

learp(8) System Manager's Manual learp(8)
NAME
learp - Displays the contents of a LAN-Emulation Address Resolution Protocol (LE-ARP) table
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/learp [-u unit_number] -a
OPTIONS
Specifies a LE-ARP cache. The unit number is the same as is displayed by the netstat -i command. For example: elan0 is unit 0, elan1 is
unit 1, and so on.
If the -u option is not specified, the default unit number is 0. Displays all entries in the LAN-Emulation Address Resolution Pro-
tocol (LE-ARP) table.
DESCRIPTION
Each LAN-Emulation Client interface (displayed as elann in netstat output) has an Address Resolution Protocol (LE-ARP) table that contains
mappings of 6-byte medium access control (MAC) addresses to 20-byte Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) addresses. The learp command displays
the contents of the LE-ARP table.
Each LE-ARP table entry contains the following information: Each MAC address that has been or is being contacted through the ATM-emulated
LAN. One of the following state values: AP -- LE-ARP is pending. The ATM address associated with the MAC address is not known. DE --
Delete of the LE-ARP cache entry is pending. When there are no more VCs for a LE-ARP entry, it is marked for deletion. After there is no
activity for 5 minutes (age periond), the entry is removed for the cache. FD -- Forward Direct. Packets flowing to the destination are
using the data-direct VC. FL -- Flush is pending. A new VC has been established with the remote node and the broadcast channel is being
flushed so packets flowing on the new VC will not arrive out of order. VP -- Virtual Channel (VC) setup is pending. The ATM address is
known, but no VC is established with the remote node. If known, the 20-byte ATM address associated with the MAC address. One of the fol-
lowing flags: R -- Remote entry. The MAC address is on a legacy (that is, Ethernet) network on the back side of an ATM edge device. P --
Permanent entry. The LE-ARP entry is permanent. If known, this is the Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and the Virtual Channel Identifier
(VCI) of the data-direct VC used by packets destined to the MAC address. Many MAC addresses may use the same VC.
EXAMPLES
The following example shows the output of a learp -a command in which the LE-ARP cache contains five entries: # learp -a le-arp cache con-
tains 5 entries.
MAC Address State ATM Address Flags VPI/VCI 08-00-2b-01-01-01 (AP) pending 08-00-2b-01-01-02 (VP)
39000000000000000000000000.08002b010102.00 pending 08-00-2b-01-02-02 (FL) 39000000000000000000000000.08002b010203.00 R 0/65
08-00-2b-01-02-03 (FD) 39000000000000000000000000.08002b010203.00 0/65
