Hi,
I'm writing a utility the attempts to scan a given network for a
particular device. Since I know that the devices will all have a fixed
MAC address I figured I could just do 'ping -b <broadcast-address>' and
then grep the resulting ARP cache entries.
Unfortunately, it appears that a broadcast ping does not add an entry to
the ARP cache. Is this by design? Just curious...
Thanks,
Jim
