I am trying to get the arp cache poisoning working with scapy and python but having problems

The python script itself is very simple:
root at ubuntu:/home/joker/Downloads/scapy-2.2.0/scripts# cat arp_poison.py 
#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys

from scapy.all import *

arpcachepoison("00:22:fa:98:5e:04", "192.168.1.131")

The error I am getting is illegal IP address. How do I fix it?



root at ubuntu:/home/joker/Downloads/scapy-2.2.0/scripts# python arp_poison.py
