[wplug] Clearing arp cache

[Greg Simkins]

I have a class exercise that claims that the arp cache can be cleared by
typing 

 

Arp -d *.*.*.*

 

In Redhat 9 Linux this give an error about an unknown host.  

 

If I type merely arp -a, I get prompted for a host name.  

 

In Windows,  arp -a will delete the entire cache.  

 

I have been reading my resources and searching online, but have not found a
way to clear the arp cache in Redhat Linux 9.  

 

Does anybody know how to do this?
