Ip address terminal command?

Hi,
I used to know a command that would show all of the ip address and the name of the devices on your network. I have not use the command in a while and I forgot it. Does any one know?

ifconfig will tell you the IPs and names of other computers on your subnet?

ifconfig

it is showing me a bunch of stuff. The command I used to know just showed the name of the device and the ip address. Can you help me decipher ipconfig.
I don't really know what I am looking at.
Thanks

Are you looking for info from your own Mac, or other devices on the network?

If the latter, then what interface? Wireless or wired? On what kind of Mac?

 

[mbcollins93]

I am looking for another device and I am useing a macbook pro. So wireless.

Then as far as I know, ifconfig isn't what you need. That is for configuring your device's interfaces. Maybe what you're looking for is nmap?
Why not just use /Applications/Utilities/Network Utility?

arp -a may show it.

The only other way I would know how to do this is a ping sweep.

arp -a may show it.

arp -a will displays all of the current ARP entries.

The arp entry will only be created when you have resovled the address.

Is it something similar to net view that you want? Do you know the device's name?

Yes but in a Wireless topology isn't everyone on a single broadcast domain that is on that wireless AP?

I would think that arp would give you a pretty complete list.

I usually use the ping command to check for all the IPs in a network.
For example if the adresses in my network are formatted like this
10.0.1.x
I simply type in the terminal ping 10.0.1.255 and all the reacheable IPs in the network will be pinged.

If you use another formatting just add the first 3 numbers and put 255 in the last block
eg:
192.168.1.255
