ARPSNMP(8)             DragonFly System Manager's Manual            ARPSNMP(8)

NAME
       arpsnmp - keep track of ethernet/ip address pairings

SYNOPSIS
       arpsnmp [ -d ] [ -f datafile ] [ -m email ] file [ ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       Arpsnmp keeps track for ethernet/ip address pairings. It syslogs
       activity and reports certain changes via email.  Arpsnmp reads
       information from a file (usually generated by snmpwalk(8)).

       The -d flag is used enable debugging. This also inhibits mailing the
       reports.  Instead, they are sent to stderr.

       The -f flag is used to set the ethernet/ip address database filename.
       The default is arp.dat.

       The -m flag specifies the address that will receive the emails.  The
       default is root.

       Note that an empty arp.dat file must be created before the first time
       you run arpsnmp.
