I think it may be the solution, actually what the
interviewer has asked is,
suppose in my network we have some systems which doesn't
have OS installed
but are connected to the server machine, from server
machine how can he find
the hardware address of the client machine which doesn't
have any OS
installed. I hope the PXE will be the solution what u have
suggested, but in
server side what command I need to run to get the hardware
address of these
client machine without going to the client side.
Please suggest also some good links for PXE.
Here 'connected' is too vague.Is it just physical connection or something like
tftp?. Possible ways
a.Have arp tools like arpwatch.
b.If the clients send request then dhcp log will have mac address
c.Better may be what ettercap does. Ettercap (and many more) is tool
for packetsniffing. It sends ARP ping or some such technique to get all mac
address.
However, how to link a particular mac with a machine should be very difficult
unless you have only one machine.
For pxe look at etherboot project pages.
