Thanks Bernard:
The first method is interesting but a little bit hard in an environment
with 200 routers.
The second method would be very good If we could avoid using the Netview
GUI.
However I don´t think it is possible, isn´t it?
Thanks again:
José María

Asunto: RE: [nv-l] MAC and IP Address
Hello Jose.
You can have a look at the ARP cache of your routers. An ARP cache
matches MAC adresses and IP adresses. You may download the caches with
the MIB browser and save them onto ascii files. There you can use any
text editor to search for a given string.
the ARP cache in a MIB lies in :
.iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.at.atTable.atEntry.atPhysAddress
The drawback of this method is that if you have lots of routers, you will
have to scan lots of ARP caches. Do you have many ?
Another method if this MAC address is known by Netview is to try
'Locate/Object/By Attribute' from the Netview GUI and choose 'SNMP
ifPhysAddr' as the attribute. This will give you the name of the device
that MAC belongs to.
Hope this may help,
Bernard Baudoux.
