What does "arp -n" show?

> What does "arp -n" show?
"arp -n" shows the correct arp entry.

Comment 4 Herbert Xu 2011-08-03 06:33:46 UTC
Since the conversion of the raw IP address to the name is done in user-apce (libc), this is not a kernel issue.

Comment 5 Linda Wang 2011-10-06 19:45:31 UTC
per comment#4, switch to glibc component.

Can you please post full `arp -n` output? And then also please post output of `dig <ip_address_in_arp_output> PTR`.

In my option this is DNS misconfiguration. I think you have following record in your 3.168.192.in-addr.arpa. zone:

X.3.168.192.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR unused.

I forgot to add the "-x" parameter to the dig command above. Correct command is `dig -x <ip_address_in_arp_output> PTR`

# dig -x 192.168.5.1 PTR
;; ANSWER SECTION:
1.5.168.192.in-addr.arpa. 86134	IN	PTR	unused.

means that 1.5.168.192.in-addr.arpa. is a PTR record pointing to DNS name "unused." Am I right Adam ?

Right you are. Which means that arp behaves as expected...
