Need some ideas to capture a bunch of mac addresses of devices that are [unfortunately] disconnected from a network and powered off. My only idea so far is to power them up (can only be done one at a time - think 'assembly line'), connect them to another PC, do an ARP -a (or script something to invoke it). Does the device that I am trying to capture the mac from need to have a valid IP on the same network? I see that when I do an arp -a on my machine, it only shows devices that have an IP, and that are on my subnet. I think the devices are set to DHCP, so if I had to I could specify on nic on my machine to push out a lease, then do a arp -a? Ideally, I would like to stick a cord in the device, have the mac populated via script, rinse and repeat for each machine... Ideas? Thanks! Sam
