arpwatch NG
The arpwatch NG package contains arpwatch and arpsnmp. Both utilities monitor Ethernet or FDDI network traffic and build databases of Ethernet/IP address pairs, and can report certain changes. It is based upon the original, but old, arpwatch package.

Recent commentsPlease, can arpwatch-ng recognize VLANs?
I just use old arpwatch on Fedora, I want monitor eth0 interface, and at this interface is also configuted several VLANs (see ip config below). And arpwatch log fills with messages like:
arpwatch: 0:9:41:be:1a:dd sent bad hardware format 0x9
where 0x9 is VLAN number. These messages perhaps isn't possible suppress. Would it be better, when I use arpwatch-ng?
Thanks in advance, franta na hanzlici.cz
