Summary
The documentation exclusively provides PowerShell-based instructions and cmdlets for retrieving ARP tables, with no mention of Linux, Bash, Azure CLI, or cross-platform alternatives. All examples and prerequisites assume the use of PowerShell, which is traditionally associated with Windows environments, and there is no guidance for users on Linux or macOS systems.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) commands for retrieving ARP tables, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux and macOS.
  • Include Bash script examples or instructions for users working in Linux environments.
  • Explicitly mention that PowerShell Core is available cross-platform, and provide installation guidance for non-Windows users if PowerShell must be used.
  • Reorganize the page or selector to offer both PowerShell and Azure CLI/Bash options, ensuring Linux users are not excluded.
  • Update prerequisites to mention both PowerShell and Azure CLI as supported tools for this operation.
