One question that I have, and correct if I am wrong or missing anything. Even with every option used, I still can’t figure how to make arp-scan list the information from the interface it is running from.

So basically in my example, the workstation on the lan that I am running arp-scan from has IP 192..168.0.10, yet that is not listed in the results. But running arp-scan from another workstation, I see that listed, and that new workstation’s information is not. Probably by design, but I was wondering if there was any way around it.
I have read the man pages, the user wiki, this can nowhere be found.
Thank you.
