Question
In linux, transmittion of data frames within a LAN network is governed by network cards, therefore MAC addresses are used and translation has to be done between MAC and IP. You can use the command [...] to get a list of hardware address (aka MAC address) to IP mappings.
Answer

arp

^^^ arp stands for Address Resolution Protocal

^^^^ the result from running "arp" gives you all the MAC address to IP translations that your machine has from sending frames to neighbouring machines in the LAN.

^^^^^the way things work is your network card sends a frame by destination IP, and the destination machine, reconizes its own IP and responds with the MAC address, which your machine keeps the mapping for future reference. arp just prints out those stored mappings

25. Introduction to IP
erence. Of course, if you suddenly switch network cards, then other machines on the LAN will have the wrong information, so ARP has time-outs and re-requests built into the protocol. Try typing <span>the command arp to get a list of hardware address to IP mappings. 25.5 Configuring Interfaces Most distributions have a generic way to configure your interfaces. Here, however, we first look at a complete network configuration using only raw networkin
