Displays and modifies the Network Terminal Accelerator (NTX) adapter's Internet-to-Ethernet address translation table.
ntx_arp [ -d Device ] HostName
ntx_arp [ -d Device ] -a | -r HostName | -f FileName
ntx_arp [ -d Device ] -s HostName EthernetAddress [ temp ] [ pub ]
The ntx_arp command displays and modifies the host adapter's Internet-to-Ethernet address translation table. The translation table is used by the address resolution protocol (ARP). By default, the ntx_arp command displays the current ARP entry for the host identified by the HostName parameter. You can specify a name or the Internet dot notation for the HostName parameter.
You can use the ntx_arp command to add an ARP entry for a host. To add an entry, use the -s flag and specify the EthernetAddress parameter. This parameter is given as 6 hexadecimal bytes separated by colons.
Entries in a table can be temporary, permanent, or published. By default, all entries are permanent. To add a temporary entry, specify the temp keyword with the -s flag. Temporary entries are maintained for 20 minutes. Published entries allow the host adapter to respond to ARP requests for a particular host even though the address is not the host adapter's address.
This command returns the following exit values:
0 | Successful completion. |
>0 | An error occurred. |
Access Control: You must have root authority to run this command.
To display all ARP table entries for the second host adapter, enter:
ntx_arp -d /dev/rhp1 -a
/usr/bin/ntx_arp | Contains the ntx_arp command. |
/dev/rhp0 | Default NTX raw device file name. |
Files: /dev/rhp.
