How to ping MAC address in Linux

Question

I want to ping a known MAC address, I tried to use nmap:

sudo nmap -sP 192.168.15.1/24 | grep  20:64:32:3F:B1:A9

But in this case its ping all

Answer 1

Here is another and rather simpler answer.

ping $(arp-scan --localnet | grep 80:1f:02:fa:90:b7  | awk ' { printf $1 } ')

Note that the mac address has to use lower case letters.

arp-scan seems to run much faster than arp.
