What vendors are lurking on your network?

This software figures this out!

How?

This program reviews an ARP or MAC Address table (Such as a Cisco IOS sh ip arp or sh mac add output), and produces information on your network like:

  • How many different vendors (as in companies) exist within your network?
  • How many different types of hardware (MAC OUIs) exist within your network?
  • Where are all these things, and what are their IPs?
  • A list (and total) of all the Apple, Cisco, Dell, HP, and Mitel products that exist on your network
  • Are there any hidden VLANs lurking within your network? This answers this too!

Table of Contents:

Why?

  • Understanding what exactly is in your network is essential for security reasons...
  • Benchmarks your network so you can easily see changes

Dependencies

  • This uses a restful API to search for the vendors, so it needs a working internet connection
  • This needs the output of an ARP or MAC Address table as a text file (such as the Cisco IOS #sh ip arp format seen below), as it is using this to do the lookup

Input

  • Contents of an ARP or MAC Address table as a text file (such as a Cisco #sh ip arp output, like below):
