Because of the dups, you can't rely on the output of pinging the broadcast. That is why you have to follow it with an "arp -n"
Furthermore, you don't want to sent out a stream of pings to broadcast, two is plenty to populate your arp table.
Didn't know about fping, thanks for the explanation! Regards, ismail -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
