      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.

      --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.
      --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.
