“20:18 – ping is a command line command for Windows and Linux that will cache MAC addresses.”
Ping doesn’t deal with MAC addresses, it returns a response based on an ICMP packet sent and received to/from the target system (where such packets are not blocked).
July 10th, 2008 at 5:21 pm
But after pinging a host the MAC addresses is populated into the arp cache (arp -a)
this can be tested by removing the address (arp -d ipaddress), pinging the address, and then checking the cache (arp -a)
