How to Find MAC addresses of all devices present in your LAN

Recently I had to find mac addresses of all servers in the local area network (LAN) for preseeding Debian installations using PXE (I will soon write about it). Finding them is easy with nmap
I used the following command and I had the mac addresses along with their associated IPs of all devices in the LAN. To find mac addresses, nmap must be run as root


nmap -sP 192.168.2.*Starting Nmap 4.11 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2010-03-31 12:39 EDTHost 192.168.2.1 appears to be up.MAC Address: 00:02:B3:40:E0:AA (Intel)Host 192.168.2.2 appears to be up.MAC Address: 00:02:B3:40:E0:A5 (Intel)Host 192.168.2.3 appears to be up.MAC Address: 00:02:B3:40:E0:A5 (Intel)Host 192.168.2.11 appears to be up.MAC Address: 00:1B:2F:6B:B7:AC (Unknown)Host 192.168.2.34 appears to be up.MAC Address: 00:1E:8C:04:A5:1F (Unknown)Host 192.168.2.57 appears to be up.MAC Address: 00:05:5D:E0:32:DF (D-Link Systems)Host 192.168.2.71 appears to be up.MAC Address: 00:03:47:A9:F3:D1 (Intel)Host 192.168.2.79 appears to be up.MAC Address: 00:1C:C0:9D:7F:9D (Unknown)Host 192.168.2.80 appears to be up.MAC Address: 00:1C:C0:9D:7D:51 (Unknown)Host 192.168.2.82 appears to be up.MAC Address: 00:15:58:32:5C:F4 (Foxconn)
