[FC] lack of ip addresses

[mdurand]

hello all,

i just installed mac track plugin on cacti
and everything work well
but i have, for my devices about 200 mac address but only less than 10 ip adresses (see the attachment)

so lot of my mac address aren't associated to an ip address

i would like to know if it is normal
and if it's not how i can resolve the problem?
if i know how does mac track do to get the ip address i will probably know why i don't have enough ip adresses

[mdurand]

a little bit more information

This look like the same problem i am having also.

[mdurand]

i solved the poblem by changing the code
as i remember i replace mac track method by my code using arpwatch

[TheWitness]

Post code and make sure it is "device type" sensitive.

i think there's no problem with the different types of devices
because my solution is:

with "arpwatch" i get all ip/mac correspondences (from all devices of my network)
i put it in mac_track_ips
of course there are many ip/mac addresses that are unuseful
(i do it in get_arp_ip_ranges function of mactrack_functions.php file)

then in poller_mactrack.php in the collect_mactrack_data function
when you do the INNER JOIN with mac_track_temp_ports
all ip/mac addresses that are unuseful disappear

i change a little bit the code of the collect_mactrack_data function:
i added something for the dns in the INNER JOIN
and i change the way of calculating ips_total in this function

summarizing:
1- get all ip/mac correspondence for my network
2- for each device: i have the mac address and i find the right ip address thks to 1-

I don't use the oid so i have no problem with the device type

i add here the files that i modified
the comments are in french
tell me if that is a problem for you

hoping i've been clear enough

[mdurand]

i found an error in the code i wrote
shame on me

i send you the code corrected

mdurand,

Please check out the latest version of the SVN MacTrack and see if the change I have implemented allows you to publish a vendor specific module for scanning IP's? Please post your response.

Thanks,

TheWitness

The mod essentially allows you to specify both the port scanning function and the IP scanning function on a device type by device type basis.

MacTrack SVN 2.0 will now support ArpWatch. Although the approach that I have used is a bit different than yours.

Thank you very much for your assistance.
