Search Network For Mac

We can find mac address (physical address) of a computer using the command ‘getmac‘. This can be used to get mac address for remote computers also. Below are few examples on how to use this command. It works on XP, Vista, Windows 7, Server 2003 and Server 2008 operating systems.

Get mac addresses from CMD

Find MAC Address Vendors. Enter a MAC Address // Features. Our list of vendors is provided directly from the IEEE Standards Association and is updated multiple times each day. The IEEE is the registration authority and provides us data on over 16,500 registered vendors. Sep 02, 2019 The interface ID is generated from the media access control (MAC) address, given by network interface card manufacturers and stored in the device hardware. Although IPv6 addresses don't have classes, the hexadecimals with which the address starts can inflect what type of network it is.

Iso mac os x for pc. Just run the command getmac to get the mac addresses. Find an example below.

This command does not show mac addresses for the network connections which are disabled. You can run ncpa.cpl and check which NICs are disabled. Further, I have received comments that this command does not help identify the mac address for a specific device. For example, if I need to get the mac address for my WiFi card, output of getmac command is not helpful. We can use ipconfig command to deal with this.

Get mac address of a remote computer

We can retrieve the mac addressses for a remote computer using nbtstat command.
Example:

Alternatively, We can run the below command to retrieve the mac addresses of a remote computer.

remote_computer : Full name of the remote computer or IP address
username and password are of the account on the remote computer.

Example:

If you do not want to specify the password, you can skip /p parameter. You will be prompted to enter the password and the command execution will take place after that.

Errors:

Using getmac command we can retrieve the mac addresses of the machines running windows OS only. If you try this for a Linux machine you would get the error 'The RPC server is unavailable.'

If you provide incorrect password, the command would fail with the error message 'Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.'

The output of the ifconfig command in the terminal will tell you the
broadcast address to use for each interface. For example:
en1: flags=8863
mtu 1500
inet 10.50.6.8 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.50.6.255

once you've executed the xxx.xxx.xxx.255 broadcast ping, type 'arp -a' and it will
show you a list of known IPs and their associated ethernet mac address. match
the ethernet mac address to the label that is most likely attached to the back/
side/bottom of your device, and you're done.

or if you have a recent build of nmap installed, you can use the following to scan the whole subnet:

substitute your IP range and subnet, of course.

2 questions. What if the device doesn't respond to ping. I can't tell you how
many times I've seen that. Also, what if you have a device that was configured
with a static IP on another network and then brought to yours and you don't
know what it's set to. If you know the MAC address, can you find it on the
network and configure it that way?

If it doesn't respond to ping, you can still find the address like so:

This will ping every address in your subnet (Adjust the local address as needed, and if your block is larger than a /24 you'll have to modify the script accordingly) and then show every machine that responded to the arp request. Even if it doesn't respond to a ping, it'll respond to the arp request. The ping is just used to generate the arp request.

I've used this to locate APs that blocked pings by default.

Pardon my stupidity, but when I type that straight into terminal, I get '-bash:
255: No such file or directory' and when I put it in ultraping.sh and do a 'sh
ultraping.sh' I get 'ultraping.sh: line 2: 255: No such file or directory'. How do I
use your instructions and can I make it into a command line command script?
Thanks in advance.

Whoops. I make a mistake in my original post.
x=0
while [ $x -lt 255 ]; do
ping -c 1 192.168.1.$x &
x=$(expr $x + 1)
done
# Wait a few seconds for the pings above to finish
arp -a
Hopefully that works for people where my original didn't. :)

Ummm.. I have Mac OS X 10.4.6 running and I tried the command and it works,
but it keeps looping? I don't get it. Can anyone help?

pings will keep going until you end it with

Aah. Simple. Many thanks!

if you type a -c# flag after the ping command it will only report back once, as in:
ping -c2 192.168.1.255

..as said, ctrl + C or – in Apples Terminal – Command + '.'

this is not the sig you`re looking for.

If you want to learn a little more about what is going on you might want to read
this page:

Knowing EVERYTHING about IP addressing was part of my CompTIA and MCSE
certifications.

Wow! You know everything about something? Great job! Now you just have to
learn not to tell people that ; )

With Static IPs, the broadcast address, as listed in the hint, most likely won't work. So you need to find your broadcast addy! Just type the following:
ifconfig -a
This gives a big list. Under either 'eth0' or 'lo0' you will find an entry like:
en0: flags..
..
inet xx.xx.173.212 netmask 0xffffffe0 broadcast xx.xx.173.223
..
That xx.xx.173.223 is my broadcast, and it does the trick when I ping it.

Network Mac Address

Just to let everyone know. The address to ping on a AirPort network is 10.0.1.255.
Check the network panel of system prefrences to see your IP address and replace
the last digits with 255, as explained above.

Just to clarify:
The amount of 255's must equal the number of 0's in the subnet mask. IE, if you
have a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, the ping is x.x.x.255, if you have a subnet
mask of 255.255.0.0 the ping is x.x.255.255 and so on.

x=0
while [ '$x' -lt '255' ]; do
ping -c 1 10.0.0.$x &
x=$(expr $x + 1)
done
# Wait a few seconds for the pings above to finish
arp -a
