Hi, this is my question:
I want to know if several switch (about 50) in a big lan are up and then
know their MAC addresses to do a list that contains host name, ip and mac.
I know only the range of their IP addresses (the host name it's simply
to know using socket.gethostn .
The first idea it's to ping all ip, parse the response and then execute
the command "arp -a" and parse the response.
However this way depends on the operating system and the ping response
depends too from the language.
Another way it's to open the main page of the switch and parse the HTML
code where i can find the MAC address.
However this way depends on the particular brand's switch.
I know (or better i think) that there is a third way: make ping and arp
building the packets with socket and so on (but i dont have understand
in what way do this).
Any suggestion?
(i've already search in google, found many sources but a lot of them
don't works or don't do what im trying to do...)
Regards,
Mauretto.

There are several Ping /ICMP implentations in Python. I did something
similar using a python ping module and parsing the arp cache. A
different approach may be to use SNMP. I believe there are Python
tools around. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi all,
Anybody that could tell me how to execute some Linux commands using
Python.
The application is that I want to be able from a website to launch a
Python script and that python script should be able to ping to the
provided IP address, or should do a whois of that IP address. I want
to use the existing Linux commands if possible.
Anyone has an idea or tutorial?

Hi there,
I could not find any "ping" Class or Handler in python (2.3.5) to ping a
machine.
I just need to "ping" a machine to see if its answering. What's the best
way to do it?
Kind regards,

I am trying to "ping" a remote host in my C++/Redhat Linux code to
check whether that host is connected or not.
if (0 == system("ping -w 2 192.168.0.2))
But, in both cases (connected/disconnected), system call returns 0. Can
someone please show what I am doing wrong? How to check the actual
result of the ping status using C++ on Redhat linux ?
Thanks in advance.

I wrote a quick script to check the "up-ness" of a list of machines,
and timeout after 1 second. However, with a lot of timeouts, the
script takes a logn time, so I thought to parallelise it. However, as
soon as I do, the pings that do not get a response never return, so
their threads block forever and the program hangs. Environment is:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
