This also works in Linux.  Open shell, su root, and type 'arp'.  Default
is Linux style. Here is an example:

[root@david dave]# arp
Address                  HWtype  HWaddress           Flags Mask
Iface
192.168.0.1              ether   00:50:BA:F8:59:C1   C
eth0
[root@david dave]#

To display in BSD style, do this:

[root@david dave]# arp -a
? (192.168.0.1) at 00:50:BA:F8:59:C1 [ether] on eth0
[root@david dave]#
