HiI have ip list in my network I need to check which ip is unused what is better solution? Write the ping script or use other command
arping has some option which will tell you if an ip address is already present on the network.
apt-get install arping man arpingThe networking scripts used in redhat systems use arping to check whether an ip address already exists before assigning it to an interface.
