We have an MPLS consisting of two branches: Location1 and Location2.
I am using the Softperfect netscan to report all ip addresses and mac addresses of devices on Location1 where my workstation is located (subnet1).
However, I want to have the same report on my workstation (at location1) for all devices in Location2 which is on a separate subnet which I administer.
Now I know I could get that report via remote-desktop connection to a machine there and running netscan.
How can I get the report directly?
I would like a similar report:
- All connected devices
- device name
- ip addresses
- mac addresses
Somebody told me about using SNMP?

You can't (unless you have two subnets on the same network segment). You have to do this via a machine (or the router) in the Location2 network. Because broadcasts don't cross router boundries.
