in reply to Re^2: using perl for arp collection
in thread using perl for arp collection

I will be happy to share the Database structure, and related perl module with you - the Database is SQLServer, and the module handles the ODBC interface to a table named "ARP". I am not sure if this is appropriate for your environment.

There is anothere script which scans the WINS database and populates device Names.

Please /msg me with your e-mail address, so I can send it to you.

Here is the layout of the ARP table:

Table: dbo_ARP + Page: 1 Properties Attributes: Linked Connect: + ODBC;DSN= + HardwareDB; + APP=Microso + ft Office + 2003;WSID= DateCreated 11/17/2004 DefaultView: + Datasheet GUID: {guid LastUpdate + 11/17/2004 {76707E89- NameMap: Long binary OrderByOn: + False Orientation: Left-to-Right RecordCoun + -1 SourceTabl dbo.ARP Updatable: + False Columns Name Type + Size ID Long In +teger 4 Mac Text + 12 IP Text + 15 User Text + 16 HostName Text + 25 SwitchName Text + 15 SwitchPortIdx Long In +teger 4 SwitchPortName Text + 10 HostType Text + 25 Notes Text + 255 UpstreamID Long In +teger
