To view the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) table in Windows, you can use the command line. The ARP table displays the IP addresses and their corresponding MAC addresses on your network.

Viewing the ARP Table

Here's how to display the ARP table:

  1. Open Command Prompt:

    • Press the Windows key, type "cmd," and press Enter.

  2. Run the ARP command:

    • In the Command Prompt window, enter “arp -a.” This command will display the ARP table. (Reference: 16-Sept-2024)
arp -a
