== arping from iputils === Usage: arping [-fqbDUAV] [-c count] [-w timeout] [-I device] [-s source] destination -f : quit on first reply -q : be quiet -b : keep broadcasting, don't go unicast -D : duplicate address detection mode -U : Unsolicited ARP mode, update your neighbours -A : ARP answer mode, update your neighbours -V : print version and exit -c count : how many packets to send -w timeout : how long to wait for a reply -I device : which ethernet device to use (eth0) -s source : source ip address destination : ask for what ip address == end == vs. == external arping package == ARPing 2.12, by Thomas Habets <thomas> usage: arping [ -0aAbdDeFpqrRuv ] [ -w <us> ] [ -S <host/ip> ] [ -T <host/ip ] [ -s <MAC> ] [ -t <MAC> ] [ -c <count> ] [ -i <interface> ] <host/ip/MAC | -B> Options: -0 Use this option to ping with source IP address 0.0.0.0. Use this when you haven't configured your interface yet. Note that this may get the MAC-ping unanswered. This is an alias for -S 0.0.0.0. -a Audiable ping. -A Only count addresses matching requested address (This *WILL* break most things you do. Only useful if you are arpinging many hosts at once. See arping-scan-net.sh for an example). -b Like -0 but source broadcast source address (255.255.255.255). Note that this may get the arping unanswered since it's not nor- mal behavior for a host. -B Use instead of host if you want to address 255.255.255.255. -c count Only send count requests. -d Find duplicate replies. Exit with 1 if there are answers from two different MAC addresses. -D Display answers as exclamation points and missing packets as dots. -e Like -a but beep when there is no reply. -F Don't try to be smart about the interface name. (even if this switch is not given, -i overrides smartness) -h Displays a help message and exits. -i interface Use the specified interface. -q Does not display messages, except error messages. -r Raw output: only the MAC/IP address is displayed for each reply. -R Raw output: Like -r but shows "the other one", can be combined with -r. -s MAC Set source MAC address. You may need to use -p with this. -S IP Like -b and -0 but with set source address. Note that this may get the arping unanswered if the target does not have routing to the IP. If you don't own the IP you are using, you may need to turn on promiscious mode on the interface (with -p). With this switch you can find out what IP-address a host has without tak- ing an IP-address yourself. -t MAC Set target MAC address to use when pinging IP address. -T IP Use -T as target address when pinging MACs that won't respond to a broadcast ping but perhaps to a directed broadcast. Example: To check the address of MAC-A, use knowledge of MAC-B and IP-B. $ arping -S <IP-B> -s <MAC-B> -p <MAC-A> -p Turn on promiscious mode on interface, use this if you don't "own" the MAC address you are using. -u Show index=received/sent instead of just index=received when pinging MACs. -v Verbose output. Use twice for more messages. -w Time to wait between pings, in microseconds.

ping!
Sorry, just 'more options' will not do.
The arping from iputils can't do arping to MAC address, only to known IP address.
