OK, I've been playing on and off with the PERL/SOAP way of interacting with XOS switches. What I'd like to do is get a dump of the ARP table from any given switch. I can see how to get the FDB table, but I need the IP addresses associated with any given port. Has anyone done this with PERL? Am I just blind and not seeing the obvious?

Cheers
Cliff

Haven't done this in Perl, but when packetalien and I were working on something back in December we found that the ARP table is not exported via XML API currently. I believe this has been added to the 'to do' list for the Extreme development team.

The way I worked around it was to use the XML API to execute a CLI command, and parse the result - easy to do with regexp.

I was afraid that might be the answer. Using a CLI command isn't much better than the current telnet method I'm using now and certainly not worth the effort to re-code.

Thanks.
