If the MAC address that you are looking for does not show up in the list, this may be due to one of the following:
-
You are not monitoring all of the routers in your environment
-
The device communicates with a local server and thus does not need to communicate with any routers (in which case, you should add SNMP support to the local server and add it to monitoring
-
When “Update” was clicked, we show the current ARP cache information on all of the devices. MAC addresses will expire out of ARP caches after 5 minutes (typically) of non-use. If the device is quiet (dormant and not communicating), then nobody will know about it’s information until it speaks up.
