You may need to capture the output so that you can review it rather
than having it flood by. There are a number of reasons for arp not
working, but review the quries and responses seen. Look for bogus
or multiple responses, complaints about wrong network or cable, or
throttling due to many requests for inactive addresses.
There are also a variety of route-cache bugs that seem related to
arp, becuase "clear arp" will obtain temporary relief, though that's
not the real problem.
