MAC address to DEVICE-NAME table?

[Anonymous]

I'm looking for some sort of way to map MAC addresses to a human readable string (like Steves-iPhone). As I collect and map MAC's I could place them in a Database, Text File, LDAP or Active Directory table. This would make the various management screens easier to track devices for the sake of debugging.

Is this possible? Has anyone done it?

Also, I'm running a ZD1000 with the "9.3.4.0 build 15" firmware.

Thanks,

If I remember correctly, your arp table doesn't have to be complete. Assuming your Lan is on a Switch instead of a Hub, it shows the hosts your machine was connected with previously somehow. And I don't think entries are automatically deleted from the table if a host goes offline or is added when a new one comes online. Your switch has it's own arp table (probably most complete if your Lan only has 1 switch). So has your router and your gateway. As for hostnames, I think you can only get them via lookups. IP Scanners basically do ping sweeps over the subnet to see if certain ports respond. If it does, then it does a lookup for the hostname. Although a bit overkill (and not installed by default) but 'nmap' is an all-in-one tool for these kind of things.
