Hi KirillTs,

I am using RouterOS 3.25 on an X86 box with 3.25 and able to arp ping using this command.

/ping 10.30.0.253 interface=ether4 arp-ping=yes

and get back response

10.30.0.253 with hw-addr 00:0C:42:07:2A:5B ping time<1 ms

The link to the wiki you posted is for the older version of RouterOS.
They do not seem to have explanation of new ping up on Wiki yet. :(

RouterOS CLI has TAB completion. Hit TAB twice to get a list of options for a command. Example.

Code: Select all
/ping 10.30.0.253 TAB TAB
arp-ping do-not-fragment interval size ttl
count interface routing-table src-address

If you want to know more about what a command does you can use the ?.

Code: Select all
/ping 10.30.0.253 ?
Send ICMP Echo packets. Repeat after given time interval.

<address> -- IP address
arp-ping --
count -- Number of packets
do-not-fragment -- Do not fragment ping packets
interface --
interval -- Delay between messages
routing-table --
size -- Packet size
src-address -- Source IP address to use when pinging
ttl -- Time to live

Hope that helps.
