Connect ARS Utility
The Connect ARS utility (ConnectARS.exe) is a command-line utility for connecting two Address Resolution Services. It instructs the local ARS to send an "AM HERE" message to a specific IP address. Note that a return message (success or fail) will not be displayed.
Syntax
ConnectARS ARSName TCPIP-Address
Parameters
| Parameter | Definition |

The name of the local ARS. Format is Site.Service. (MYSITE.ARS). |

Note: See CygConn Domain Connection Utility for more information about Preferred ARS Addresses and automatic ARS broadcasts. Each ARS broadcasts its presence to all of the ARS services specified as preferred ARS addresses on startup and every five minutes after that. This broadcast covers much of the functionality of the Connect ARS utility, that is, telling an ARS on a different subnet that another ARS exists.
