NAME
update-cluster-maccollect - collects mac addresses and generates output
SYNOPSIS
update-cluster-maccollect [entry] ... < input-filename
DESCRIPTION
update-cluster-maccollect listens to the network interface, and collects MAC addresses. It will auto-generates a list of hostnames and
IPs by the information, to generate a list of hosts which were sending
packets to the network.
Useful for creating a template for list of nodes in the LAN automatically.
OPTIONS
- --prefix [pc]
- Sets the hostname prefix to be pc. Every generated hostname will be in the form of pcXX, where XX is a numeral.
- --ipprefix [192.168.0.]
Network IP prefix. A number will be appended.- --ipstart [2]
Start value for IP. Default is 2.- --hoststart [2]
Start value for the numeric part of hostname. Default is 2.- --domainsuffix [.domain.org]
Specify a domain name to use. Start with a period.- The default is .cluster. It is possible to suppress the domain part by specifying --domainsuffix ""
- --interface [eth0]
Network interface to listen to. MAC addresses are collected from packets that are received on that interface.- --clusterxml [clusterml]
Specifies the cluster.xml file to use instead of the default.
EXAMPLES
- update-cluster-maccollect --domainsuffix .hoge.org --prefix machine --interface eth0 --ipstart 1 --hoststart 1
- Collect MAC addresses on interface eth0.
BUGS
Only really supports network with less than 256 hosts. Only really
supports IPv4 networks. Assumes a lot of things.
