-OID examples: +The following OID examples pull the current MAC Address table from a router. This reflects all recent devices seen on the network. However, since devices are not removed until they time out, this is less effective for [device tracker component page](/components/device_tracker/) than desirable. It is recommended to use [Ping](/components/device_tracker.ping/) or [NMAP](/components/device_tracker.nmap_tracker/) instead. | Brand | Device/Firmware | OID | |---|---|---|---|
