Any way to see a complete list of devices attached to the LAN?

Fri Jul 08, 2016 11:31 pm

I figured I would be able to see this in the ARP table but I have many IP's that do not show up there.

Feels like a basic feature that should be easily accessible right? I mean I know I can run an nmap but I have seen this feature on many other routers.

Thank you.

Realize that ARP is only going to show devices that are participating in IP, and have recently been communicating with/through the router.

I usually do a ping scan of the network and then check the ARP cache. If my own computer is in the same network to be tested, then just ping scan the LAN and check your own computer's arp cache.

Even then, some device that's not speaking IPv4 (say an IPv6-only device) would never show up in an ARP scan.

I searched for an easy way to see this in webfig a couple times, but I did not find it.

Bummer. I find this lack of feature surprising considering the amount of bad-ass these routers contain.

Oh well, thanks for the feedback.

Tools > IP Scan

Have you tried that?

Tools > IP Scan
That seems to be it, but it does not show the DHCP or interface names.

Did you have a look in the ARP table after the scan?

If I do it, I see the interface in the ARP table.

Perhaps I missed what you really wish to see.

The addresses identified by a name in the scan table as much as possible.
