How to Clean the Arp Cache

Administrators in a Windows environment can clear an address resolution protocol (ARP) cache when it becomes corrupted, which creates a new address table and fixes some address resolution issues. This is done at the Windows command prompt.

Instructions

    • 1

      Click the Windows Start button and select "Run." Type "cmd" into the text box to start the DOS command shell.

    • 2

      Type "arp" into the command prompt. This gives you a list of ARP syntax references and instructions for how to use them.

    • 3

      Type "netsh interface ip delete arpcache" into the command prompt. This will remove entries from the cache.

Tips & Warnings

  • Use "arp -a" to view current entries in the cache.
