Hi, we have a very large network here with a lot of Windows clients, mostly using Win Firewall, i need to be able to probe MAC ping on the dude, is it feasible
Really, no one knows
I think the question is confusing… says the blond guy.
Ok don’t know if you didn’t have time to post more detail but the only way I could find to work with the list of mac address under device view, mac mapping tab is to export them to PDF… Maybe you could export that and convert it to text, then you can work with that but I could not find a way to automate the export. (edit: when you click print from that tab it will create a pdf.)
New feature time?
No, i need to MAC ping (Arping) instead of regular ping, as we do on Winbox and also to use it as a probe.
Since you have an executable you could create an external, look at the execute function. There are some posts describing using externals around…
But you wont be able to get the arp for any device on the other side of a router… I suppose you just want the devices connected on the same network. And there in lies the confusion for the blond guy.
From the arping wiki. “using the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) for probing hosts on the local network (link) only, as ARP cannot be routed across gateways (routers).”
So I am just trying to understand what you are trying to do since arp is so limited.
As far as the batch job goes just write the results of the arping to a text file and process it??
