Module

Action

Get current list of known MAC address to IP address mappings from the network adapter table and the ARP cache.

Parameters

(None)

Return values

For each MAC Address:

  • AdapterType (string): One of "Ethernet", "Token ring", "PPP", "ATM", "Wireless" or "Unknown". For local addresses only; empty for non-local.

  • AssignedBy (string): The IP address of the DHCP server which assigned the address, if applicable. For local addresses only; empty for non-local.

  • IpAddress (string): The corresponding IP address

  • IsLocal (bool): true if the mapping is from the network adapter table, else false if from the ARP cache

  • MacAddress (string): The MAC address in IEEE 802 EUI-48 notation, eg. 88-a2-5e-cc-84-80

  • Subnet (string): The IP addresses subnet in CIDR format eg 192.168.11.0/24

Example

Network.GetArpEntries();

Platforms

  • Windows

Notes

The following are filtered out:

  • Loopback adapter(s)

  • Empty (00-00-00-00-00-00) and broadcast (FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF) MAC addresses

  • Multicast addresses (224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255)

The method name is misleading because not just the ARP cache is used.
