Device Tracker · ARP/FDB Search

Search the ARP entries and Forwarding Database on Cisco switches.

This is meant to replace the slow and archaic method of getting this information via SNMP queries.

User Interface

How to run
  • Download the repository or git clone the code
  • python get_info.py to start collecting ARP and FDB info. Modify the list of switches you want to get info from.
  • ruby server.rb to start the Sinatra frontend that lets you search the data captured.
Prerequisites
  • Python ~3.7
  • Ruby ~2.5.1
  • Redis 4
  • pip modules: redis, netmiko, schedule, textfsm
  • rubygems: sinatra, redis
  • ntc-templates
Todo

[ ] Integrate with IOS-XE guestshell (IOX) [ ] Export JSON API endpoint [ ] Export Prometheus compatible statistics

The heavy lifting with this project is done by the awesome work from the folks behind the netmiko and paramiko libraries.
