Ok,
The entire table looks like this:
ip | hostname | mac_current | mac_change | port_current | port_change
The IP addresses are harvested via netflow (a different table) and or
arpwatch (an event). This new table is to augment the current
information that is within the netflow tables but specifically
targetting host info.
There is a shell script that runs every 5 minutes, or as triggered by
arpwatch. The former simply selects all the addresses from the netflow
table and pairs them up with it's MAC address which are extracted from
the flat-file arpwatch database. If arpwatch sees a new address it
will also input the ip/mac as it occurs. The MAC addresses are then
used as arguments for snmp lookups on the switches which will return
which port they are currently plugged into.
In the event that a known mac appears on a different port or belongs
to a different address I want to make note of the change. I just
thought it would be easier to compare the mac_current mac_change
port_current port_change via a select query as opposed to having to do
full selects on the entire table then compare the entries before I
plug them in.
For example, the on duplicate key could work if it was available for
update. It would see that that the ip exists (primary key) which would
mean that mac_current already exists so update mac_new.
Or something like that.. :)
