Hi All,

I have a Windows program

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/autoscan/

that will find all the MAC address on a Ethernet.
Last time I used it, it found stuff on 192.168.1.0/24
and 192.168.88.0/24.  Helped me fix everything so
they were on the same network.

There is a Linux tarball for autoscan, but I can not
find an RPM for it.  And, the tarball has no spec
file in it.

I could really use this functionality on Linux.  As
far as I can tell, nmap will only locate stuff on
the current network, not everything on the Ethernet.

Any idea how to do this with nmap or similar?  I
would really like to use nmap, if I could.

I have tried "overlook fing", but it only finds stuff
on the current network.

Many thanks,
-T




It's a slightly different approach, but I use arpwatch to passively monitor arp activity on the network. It creates a log of discovered MAC addresses and IPs in /var/lib/arpwatch/arp.dat. It can be configured to send email alerts when it finds IPs that don't match the local subnet (see "bogon").
