That's the published ARP entry for your IP address. When some other node on the network requests the MAC address for that IP address, that entry is what's transmitted on the network. > question number two,from the default system is it possible to view all the > othere subnets ip that are running on my Universities? > I do not want to use an external programm like nmap or soever. No; there's no such functionality in TCP/IP. The routing protocol(s) in use at your University carry that subnet information. Solaris includes a fairly complete set of routing protocol implementations, and if your network administrators allow you to run those protocols (doubtful), then you'd _may_ be able to extract the information you want -- minus any area summarization in place. And there are discovery protocols (such as mDNS) that allow you to locate services by name on your network, as well as others (such as DHCP) that allow you to get service information valid for your location. But at a fairly fundamental level, what you're asking about -- enumerating subnets -- just isn't a standard part of TCP/IP itself. Solaris can't implement what doesn't exist. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
