To supress ARP on interface eth0
run the following command as root
:
ip link set dev eth0 arp off
To turn it back on again:
ip link set dev eth0 arp on
1I know that ip
is newer and more powerful than ifconfig
but ifconfig eth0 -arp
( turning off) and ifconfig eth0 arp
(turning on) also works. – Sourav Ghosh – 2018-07-20T12:06:54.700

Disable ARP protocol:
sudo ifconfig wlan0 -arp
Enable ARP protocol:
sudo ifconfig wlan0 arp
Are you willing to dive into the source code of linux to disable it? ARP is a critical protocol for IPv4 and IPv6. If you disable it you won't be able to use any IP services from your machine – SecurityMatt – 2012-03-11T17:04:41.563
please clarify what you mean by 'disabling system-level arp'... what do u want not to work, exactly? – user1055604 – 2012-03-14T18:35:30.577
