Program Requirements Supported Operating Systems: Windows 7, Server 2008, Vista, XP, Server 2003, 2000 - 32 or 64 bit editions. (This software is a 32 bit program) Network: IPv4 network access from your computer to the managed switch. Switch Access Requirements: The switch must have SNMP v1 or v2c activated. You will need the SNMP read-only community name to access the switch (it is like a password) . You may need permissions set in the switch for your IP address to access the switch if required by your switch administrator. For best results, two additional SNMP devices may be queried for their ARP tables**. **Obtaining IP addresses: Managed switches that operate at layer 2 keep track of the MAC addresses attached to their ports and report the information in Bridge-Mib and/or qBridge-mib. The IP addresses are not kept in the port forwarding tables. When we retrieve the data, we have to find the IP address that matches the list of device MAC addresses for each port. We do this by searching ARP tables from various devices. We provide two user defined methods of retrieving ARP tables from other SNMP enabled devices such as a server or router. Ping Sweep prefills your local ARP table with local network segment IP/MAC addresses.
