I have an external device (a PCB crate) of which I do not know the IP address. Connected to this device is a PCB that broadcasts its MAC address. Ultimately, I want to know this MAC address.
I can connect to PCB crate with an Ethernet cable. I have two Ethernet cards in my PC, one connected to the outside world (eth0), and one connected to the PCB crate (eth1).
I installed wireshark to see if I get any traffic on eth1, but I don't see anything. Here's the output of ip addr:
Code: Select all
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN

ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0
I'm a bit stuck now, if I'm going in the right direction or not. How can I figure out what IP address the PCB crate has? How can I communicate with it, such that the MAC address of the PCB will be broadcasted to my Ethernet card? How can I turn off the DHCP for eth1 only?
Any help is much appreciated.
