Description: It's nearly impossible for me to keep server connections labeled correctly at my core switches.   This ditty uses nmap and Net::Ping to build a list of MAC addresses with associated hostnames/IP addresses for live connections on a local subnet/VLAN.   I can then compare it with the switch's CAM table to find what box is connected at which port.

I dabbled with Linux arping utility, but stuck with Net::Ping for one less external dependancy.

Comments or suggestions for improvement are both welcomed and appreciated.

Update 3: 2001-04-30
hashamafied passel o' scalars and minor format cleanup.

Update 2:
cleaned up a few minor Perlish faux pas' and added to-do of using snmpwalk syntax based from riffraff's post in this thread.

Update1:
thanks to turnstep and to Ovid for feedback, and to ncw for his recent post Numeric list to optimised regexp , which made a no-brainer of regex's to match for nmap input.

=head1 Name

 pingarp.pl

=head1 Summary

Generate list of MAC addrs for all live IP devices on your subnet.

=head1 Usage

 pingarp.pl a.b.c.d/nn
   a.b.c.d = your local subnet address
   nn      = bitwise netmask

 eg;
   pingarp.pl 172.31.0.0/16

 Must run as root from host on same subnet as target hosts.
 Output files are placed in current directory.

=head1 Requires and related

 nmap v2.12
    www.insecure.org/nmap/
    www.debian.org/Packages/stable/nmap.html
 Net::Ping
    included in standard Perl distribution

 arping
    freshmeat.net/projects/arping/
    www.debian.org/Packages/base/netbase.html

=head1 Tested

with Perl 5.00503 on Debian 2.2 "Espy"

=head1 Updated

 2001-04-30   14:00
   Hashamafy passel o' scalars.
   Format for 75 chars/line max.
 2001-03-30
   Eliminate multiple useless "my var" at start of script
     by calling with "my" when first used.
   Clean up inconsistent indenting.
   Replace doublequotes with singlequotes for strings.
 2000-09-22
   Initial working code.

=head1 ToDos

 Replace "Querying ARP table..." section with
   "snmpwalk <router> <community> IpnetToMediaPhysAddr"
   to allow script to work for remote segments.
   Will then need to prompt for (name|address) of remote router.
 Check for valid subnet/mask input.
   commented regex above or
   (Net::IPv4Addr|NetAddr::IP|NetAddr::IP::Count|Network::IPv4Addr)
 Check that script is being run by root (required for ICMP ping).
 Check into File::Temp for mess o' working files.
 Translate MACs for Token-Ring.
