Please follow these instructions to successfully ping a network MAC access. MAC Address means Media Access Control Address. The MAC address is an identifier for computer network hardware. It is a unique identifier set by the manufacturer and is permanently set into the hardware equipment. This identifier helps network communicate with each other. You can find MAC address on the following devices:

  1. Computers
  2. Smart Phones
  3. Enterprise Servers
  4. Industrial Equipment
  5. Internet Of Things
  6. WIFI

Today's questions is regarding networking. the question is:
'is it possible to ping a device using only the mac address of the machine? or what tools I can use to check if a device is connected to the network'
ANSWER: the answer is no. IP Address is layer 3 of the OSI Model, and the MAC Address belongs to Layer 2
However, there is a way for example, if I have a network printer connected to my LAN but I can't ping it. the printer may be in your network and you probably are just pinging the wrong ip address for that printer. so how do you find the correct ip address? this is what I would do
Go to the printer, usually devices will have the MAC ADDRESS printed on the back, so for example, lets say my printer has this MAC ADDRESS:
01-00-5e-7f-ff-fa
So what I can do is run the arp command. to run the arp utility, open your command terminal. I am using windows 7 for this tutorial, so I will use windows DOS terminal.
ARP COMMAND:


It will give you a list of all the devices recorded in your computer:
This is the output on my computer:


As you can see from the list, the device with 01-00-5e-7f-ff-fa is IP ADDRESS 192.168.56.1 so I can ping that device now.


Now that you know what a MAC address is and how you can ping. Are you ready for a quick quiz?

Find Device Using Mac Address

here's another trick
lets say you know the mac address for your device, you can bind that mac address an ip on your computer so when you ping the ip, it will look for that mac address
so lets say i have a printer with a mac address of: 01-00-5e-7f-ff-fa
open your DOS terminal and send this command
DOS COMMAND:
now try pinging 192.168.1.120 - it will look for that device with that mac address we just assigned

bless you my son
i am using a router as a bridge to connect my cellular mobile router boost coolpad surf wifi signals to lan connected devices the mobile router gave an address to the bridge by its internal dhcp program without that address, i could never get to the bridge local web page used for controlling routerbridge, unless i recycled to all the 254 addresses using the arp command it listed the dynamic addresses passes out by a dhcp device there were 3 dynamic addresses listed, and when i did a ping on them using the 'ping a listed addresses' command, there was my rta1900 router bridge i plugged that address into a browser, and up came my bridge dashboard and all the controls of the router you are a life saver thank you so very very much
