[INFOREQ] Mac Track Questions

[charlesdf23]

Let me start out by saying that I'm loving mac track thus far.

However, is there a way to add the devices via cli? I have 700+ devices and it would nice to script them in from the cli.

Also, we run cisco voip phones all over the place and were wondering if it would be possible to generate an alert when a phone moves to a different port? This is due to the paranoia with e911.

Thanks in advance.

Hello charles,

I feel your pain with it being tough adding in all the devices via web client!
Other than that I can't lend you much help with that question. As far as your second though, you may want to look into the end-device tracking addon. However... you should be able to see what port the phones are on already if you have MAC track running? It tells ip,mac,vendor,and port of device if I'm not mistaken... what else are you looking for? You can use the mac watch tool to follow where each phone goes and set it up to e-mail you when it does make a move.

Hope this helps.

I have over 20,000 phones that I would ultimately like to track. Mac watch appears to be be only unique entries, and I would go blind if I had to add all of them manually.

thanks

You simply need a CSV file with the correct format. Device types is the same, but I would like to do an auto detect new types at some point to make it easier.

When in mactrack devices, look for the import button.

Ip phones can be a PITA due to how they bridge to the network.

Damn.....
If the import button was a snake it would have bit me.
