Instead of manually pinging all IP addresses on your LAN you can use this nice command:
Now there’s a faster and easier way to squeeze more performance and value out of your network by activating the device capabilities you’ve already paid for!
Download the free Network Config Generator from Solarwinds and in less time than it takes to say “C-L-I”, you can be running config templates that automatically configure both common and advanced network device features.
Open Command Prompt and type:
FOR /L %i IN (1,1,254) DO ping -n 1 192.168.0.%i | FIND /i "Reply">> c:\ipaddresses.txt
The "-n 1" is for only 1 ping packet to be sent to each computer.
Change 192.168.0 to match you own Network ID.
This will ping all IP addresses on the 192.168.0.0 network segment and create a text file called IPADDRESSES.TXT in C:\, where it will list only the IP addresses that gave a reply.
FOR /L %i IN (1,1,254) DO ping -a -n 1 192.168.0.%i | FIND /i "Reply">> c:\ipaddresses.txt
You can, of course, modify this script and make it suit your own desire.
I'd love to hear about any other ideas you may have
