ETHERS(5) Linux System Administrator's Manual ETHERS(5)
ethers - Ethernet address to IP number database
/etc/ethers contains 48 bit Ethernet addresses and their
corresponding IP numbers, one line for each IP number:
Ethernet-address IP-number
The two items are separated by any number of SPACE and/or TAB
characters. A # at the beginning of a line starts a comment
which extends to the end of the line. The Ethernet-address is
written as x:x:x:x:x:x, where x is a hexadecimal number between 0
and ff which represents one byte of the address, which is in
network byte order (big-endian). The IP-number may be a hostname
which can be resolved by DNS or a dot separated number.
