Hi,
I wonder how easy/difficult it would be to do a TCP/IP broadcast to the
local network (192.168.*.* - 10.*.*.*) looking for a certain MAC
address, and get responses back.
In other words.... what would be the right approach to design a java
utility that looks for a given mac address on the subnet, and shows the
IP address bound to that given MAC ?
Note that the devices to be looked for might or might NOT be SNMP
aware.
Ideas? thoughts? comments?
Thanks,
FC
Maybe this Java Ping program could get things going..
