RE: [Perl-unix-users] Info: MAC

[Thomas, Mark - BLS CTR]

Title: Message

For Windows, you can use nbtstat -A. This requires a loaded NetBT driver, which I think is enabled by default on most Windows platforms. On Unix you can use arp (CPAN module Net::Arping may help). Unfortunately, arp works only on local segments. If you need to query beyond a router, you need some sort of agent installed that can respond with the MAC address. An SNMP agent would work, and there may be something in the Samba package that will work as well. Good luck.

Good Day All

I would like to know if there is a perl module that could help me to resolve mac addresses to IP's
