Ethernet ID
« on: June 26, 2015, 10:42:41 AM »
Hi Mark,
   I cant remember where to find the following..  :'(  When the processor is powered up with ethernet connected , and I use wireshark or a ip scanner , it gives a name associated with the mac address (comes under heading 'Source' in wireshark). Where can I change this?

Thanks
Neil

Hi Neil

I thik that the ID is being taken from Wiresharks OUI database which is described here:
https://www.wireshark.org/tools/oui-lookup.html

Hi Mark,
   Thanks for that.  I assumed that utasker held the name someplace in the source code, and it was just a matter of changing it. So its not possible to change this?

If you have a OUI you may find that the owner's name appears when displayed in Wireshark.
Otherwise maybe it is possible to edit the Wireshark database on the PC running it to add new ones (or bogus ones).
However I don't know how to do this myself.
