-a Displays all of the current ARP entries. -d hostname Deletes the entry for hostname if the user issuing the command is a privileged user. -s hostname Creates a single ARP entry for hostname. Use hardware_addr of this flag requires privileges. Here: [temp] [pub] hostname Specifies the remote host identified by the entry. hardware_ Specifies the hardware address addr of the remote host. The address is given as 6 hexadecimal bytes separated by colons. temp Specifies that this ARP table entry is temporary. When this argument is not used, the table entry is permanent. pub Indicates that the table entry will be published and that the current system will act as an ARP server, responding to requests for hostname even though the host address is not its own. [-u] Displays the MAC address in noncanonical form with address bytes reversed and separated by a colon character (:). By default, all addresses are displayed in canonical form with address bytes separated by the hyphen character (-). When used with the -s flag, this indicates that the hardware_addr is in noncanonical form.
