This is a presence detection scanner for [Cisco IOS](https://www.cisco.com/) devices.
|
|
|
|
{% important %}
|
|
This device tracker needs SSH to be enabled on the router.
|
|
{% endimportant %}
|
|
|
|
Before using this scanner it is recommended that you lower the ARP cache timeout on your router, as Cisco IOS normally comes with a 4 hour default ARP cache timeout.
|
|
|
|
For example, the following commands will lower the timeout to 2 minutes on Vlan1:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# 1. use this command to see what Vlan your devices are on
|
|
show ip arp
|
|
|
|
# 2. Go into configure mode
|
|
conf t
|
|
|
|
# 3. Use the Vlan name as you see it from step 1 above
|
|
interface Vlan1
|
|
|
|
# 4. Set a new arp cache timeout
|
|
arp timeout 120
|
|
|
|
# 5. Exit
|
|
# Press <ctrl+c> to exit configure mode
|
|
|
|
# 6. Don't forget to save the new config, so that it will survive a reboot
|
|
copy running-config startup-config
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% note %}
|
|
|
|
If you have a very large number of devices on your VLan (+1000), then you may want to adjust the ARP cache timeout to suit your needs. See [this discussion](https://community.cisco.com/t5/switching/arp-timeout/td-p/839027) to learn more.

To use this device tracker in your installation, add the following to your {% term "`configuration.yaml`" %} file.
