MAC watcher

Hi,

I don't know if this kind of app exist but I'm looking for something that can pull mac address tables from Cisco switches, routers (via SNMP ?), build of database out of it and alert me through e-mail when a new MAC is detected on the network.


Anyone know something that can do that ? (free or not...)

thanks

Seems like a very good idea.

I like that also, but I have'nt seen any software like that, but we'll ty if one of our brothers here in Firewall.cx knows that stuff.

Anyone please?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers

I have good news for you my friend

You can add all your devices and create a MAC address report in 2 min and then have the report mailed to your inbox.

One thing I recommend is when creating the task, in options check "Use alternative command" and type "show mac address-table dynamic".

By default the "dynamic" option isn't there and you have a lot of crap

What are you trying to accomplish? Could you use port security on the Cisco switches to shutdown the port or notify you via Syslog?

you have a really good point here

notify via syslog...I like that

thanks

You can also use syslog servers that will generate an email whena specific syslog is received. I think even Kiwi's syslog can do that.
