Summary

IP Scan tool allows a user to scan networks based on some network prefix or by setting an interface to listen to. Either way, the tool collects certain data from the network:

address - IP address of network device;
mac-address - MAC address of network device;
time - response time of seen network device when found;
DNS - DNS name of a network device;
SNMP - SNMP name of the device;
NET-BIOS - NET-BIOS name of device if advertised by the device;

When using IP scan tool user must choose what they want to scan for:

certain IPv4 prefix - the tool will attempt to scan all the IP addresses or addresses set;
the interface of the router - the tool will attempt to listen to packets that are "passing by" and attempt to compile results when something is found;

There is a possibility to set both but then results may be inconclusive!

Quick Example

In the following example, we will scan the devices on 10.155.126.0/24 network:

[admin@MikroTik] > /tool ip-scan address-range=10.155.126.1-10.155.126.255
Columns: ADDRESS, MAC-ADDRESS, TIMe, SNMP
