Where SNMP is not available, ping and what other commands?

Recommended Posts

Where SNMP is not available, you can use the ping command to determine that the IP enabled CCTV is reachable as a node on the network. What other DOS or command line tools and commands are useful for monitoring CCTV networks? What can you gather using each tool/command?

If the CCTV camera is on the same subnet as the Pc after you ping use “arp –a” on the command line to see the mac address. Sometimes a device doesn’t reply to ping but does to arp.

 

Also we use Wireshark (in windows) and TCPdump in linux to watch layer 2 arp requests to spot if a CCTV camera has been given the incorrect default gateway or IP address.
