Hi

I am try to use ARP (specifically the -s flag) to map a MAC address t oa
host name.
After reading the man page, i tried:

blondie# uname -a
FreeBSD blondie.bowdoin.edu 4.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE #0: Wed May  2
22:11:53 EDT 2001
mcowger@diablo.bowdoin.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/BLONDIE  i386
blondie# arp -s mytest 91:02:64:de:58:8f
arp: mytest: Unknown host
blondie#

So....what am I doing wrong?  (Note that I dont want to do this via DNS or
/etc/hosts for other reasons)

Thanx


Matt
