show-ip-arp-mac-lookup
Searches for MAC addresses in a text file of a Cisco "show IP arp" in any address format
What it does:
- Takes a text file with the output of a Cisco
#sh ip arp
and searches for a given MAC address in any format, outputs the results to a file
Why?
- Cisco puts MAC addresses in a unique format that can lead to not finding an existing MAC due to typos, this eliminates this risk
- Easy to use, and highly portable -- I dumped the
sh ip arp
results to my cell for a quick lookup if out in the field
