Subnets configuration

The arp-scan time itself depends on the number of IP addresses to check. The number of IPs to check depends on the network mask you set on the SCAN_SUBNETS setting.

For example, a /24 mask results in 256 IPs to check, where as a /16 mask checks around 65,536. Every IP takes a couple seconds. This means that with an incorrect configuration the arp-scan will take hours to complete instead of seconds.

  • Specify the network mask. For example, the filter 192.168.1.0/24 covers IP ranges 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.255
  • Run iwconfig in your container to find your interface name(s) (e.g.: eth0, eth1).
  • Append e.g.: -vlan=107 to the interface field (e.g.: eth0 -vlan=107) for multiple vlans. More details in this comment in this issue

Vlan configuration example

Support for VLANS

Please note about the accessibility of the macvlans when they are configured on the same computer. My understanding this is a general networking behavior, but feel free to clarify via a PR/issue.

  • Pi.Alert does not detect the macvlan container when it is running on the same computer.
  • Pi.Alert recognizes the macvlan container when it is running on a different computer.
