Set IP with ARP

An ARP table maps IP addresses to MAC addresses.

Sometimes you only know the MAC address of a device, but there is no way to ping a MAC address.
Fortunately you can manually add entries to the local ARP table.

arp -S 10.10.10.10 00-fa-de-13-37-oo

Now you can effectively ping the device because you know its IP address. One caveat, you must ping buffer size to 113:

ping 10.10.10.10 -l 113
