Microsoft DOS arp command

Microsoft DOS arp command

About arp

Displays, adds and removes arp information from network devices.

Short for Address Resolution Protocol, ARP is a protocol used with the IP protocol for mapping a 32-bit Internet Protocol address to a MAC address that is recognized in the local network specified in RFC 826. Once recognized, the server or networking device returns a response containing the required address.

  • Additional information about the MS-DOS ARP command can be found on our MS-DOS ARP command page.
  • See our Linux / Unix arp command page for additional information about this systems command.
Syntax ARP -s inet_addr eth_adr [if_addr]

ARP -d inet_addr [if_addr]
ARP -a [inet_addr] [-N if_addr]


-a Displays current ARP entries by interrogating the current protocol data. If inet_addr is specified, the IP and Physical addresses for only the specified computer are displayed. If more than one network interface uses ARP, entries for each ARP table are displayed.
-g Same as -a
inet_addr Specifies an Internet address.
-N if addr Displays the ARP entries for the network interface specified by if_addr.
-d Deletes the host specified by inet_addr.
-s Adds the host and associates the Internet address inet_addr with the Physical address eth_addr. The Physical address is given as 6 hexadecimal bytes seperated by hyphens. The entry is permanent.
eth_addr Specifies a physical address
if_addr If present, this specifies the Internet address of the interface whose address translation table should be modified. If not present, the first applicable interface will be used.

Examples

arp -a

Interface 220.0.0.80

Internet Address Physical Address Type
220.0.0.160 00-50-04-62-F7-23 static

The Physical Address or MAC address as shown above in the format aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff is the unique manufacturer identification number. This number should always be a unique address.

An example of how to change the above IP address 220.0.0.160 to 220.0.0.161 in this case would be:

arp -s 220.0.0.161 00-50-04-62-F7-23

If an IP address has already been assigned to the specific network adapter it is not possible to change that assigned IP address to a new address. In addition, networks italicizing DHCP, BOOTP or RARP will automatically assign the card an IP address, therefore, this command would not be utilized.

Root

Root

1. Also known as an admin, administrator, and gatekeeper this account is a super user on a computer and/or network and has complete control over it. When referring to a Unix / Linux computer this user is often known as root and on a Windows computer and network this user is often referred to as an administrator. However, each of these terms is interchangeable.

  • Information about determining if an account has administrator rights on document CH001093.
  • See document CH001096 for additional information about why you may not be able to log into the administrator account.
  • Additional information about giving a Windows account administrative rights on document CH001097.
  • See our su or super user command page for additional information on this Linux command.

2. The highest level in a directory hierarchy. For example, in MS-DOS, the root of the primary hard disk drive would C:\.

File Replication Service Stops Responding When Staging Area is Full

File Replication Service Stops Responding When Staging Area is Full

May 07, 2009
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/264822


WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

When the space consumed by staging files reaches 660 MB, inbound and outbound replication is suspended until free staging space is available. Typically, when the server replicates large amounts of data, staging areas can reach their limit because the FRS moves data to the local staging area at a rate faster than the data can be transferred across the network to the staging area of the other FRS replica partner.

A display of the event that may be registered in the event log is as follows:
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: NtFrs
Event Category: None
Event ID: 13522
Date:
Time:
User: N/A
Computer:
Description:

The File Replication Service paused because the staging area is full. Replication will resume if staging space becomes available or if the staging space limit is increased.
To increase the size of the staging area, change the following registry setting to reflect the amount of space that is needed (enter it in kilobytes). For example, if you need to replicate 1.2 gigabytes (GB) of data, increase the staging areas of the inbound and outbound partners to 1.5 GB to ensure that the staging areas can accommodate all data to be replicated.
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Ntfrs\Parameters\Staging Space Limit in KB

Data type: REG_DWORD
Range: 0x0 - 0xFFFFFFFF KB
Default value: Default= 0xA5000 (660000 KB = 660 MB)

For example, 1.5 GB = 16e360 (1500000 KB = 1.5 GB)
