PS_ARPREQUEST

code: 161

# get
<module-index>/<port-index> PS_ARPREQUEST [<stream_index>] ?

Description

Generates an outgoing ARP request on the test port. The packet header for the stream must contain an IP protocol segment, and the destination IP address is used in the ARP request. If there is a gateway IP address specified for the port and it is on a different subnet than the destination IP address in the packet header, then the gateway IP address is used instead. The framing of the ARP request matches the packet header, including any VLAN protocol segments. This command does not generate an immediate result, but waits until an ARP reply is received on the test port. If no reply is received within 500 milliseconds, it returns.
