Hello,
I'm not into neworking, but I was wondering if the following is possible:
We have a computer connected to various IP Cameras in the network. These cameras can assign themselves a default IP of the likes 192.168.0.x; this however is not always true.
They're all connected to each other using the LAN interface.
The manufacturers of these cameras provide tools to set up an IP to them using their MAC adress.
What I would like to know, is it possible to make an application that can fetch all the MAC addresses of these cameras whether they have an IP set or not, and give me that list, so I can send a packet to that MAC adress and tell it to take that specific IP?
I think this is kinda playing DHCP server or something, but bit clueless in this domain.
