the contrib/dhcp-lease-list.pl script is great! unfortunately, it seems it trims the MAC addresses when the oui lookup is enabled, probably because of garbage in the oui.txt file. For example: MAC IP hostname valid until manufacturer =============================================================================================== 80:6c:1b:2e:54:f0 192.168.0.186 android-4e25a30330d9195a2015-12-12 17:41:18 Motorola Mobility LLC, a Lenovo Company :f9:9d:d7 192.168.0.182 iMac-de-mac-4962015-12-12 18:22:02 Apple, Inc. :35:24:50 192.168.0.189 SimonVV 2015-12-12 18:06:01 Apple, Inc. e8:9a:8f:6e:0f:60 192.168.0.127 angela 2015-12-12 17:42:52 Quanta Computer Inc. ec:55:f9:c5:f2:55 192.168.0.179 angela 2015-12-12 17:40:18 Hon Hai Precision Ind.

It also fixes the width of the hostname field which was garbling the display above: --- dhcp-lease-list.pl.orig 2015-12-12 12:30:00.000000000 -0500 +++ dhcp-lease-list.pl 2015-12-12 12:54:31.000000000 -0500 @@ -41,7 +41,7 @@ if (defined $oui) { $manu = join('-', ($_[0] =~ /^(..):(..):(..):/)); $manu = `grep -i '$manu' $oui | cut -f3`; - chomp($manu); + $manu =~ s/^\s+|\s+$//g; } return $manu; @@ -142,7 +142,7 @@ } foreach (@leases) { if ($opt_format eq 'human') { - printf("%-19s%-16s%-15s%-20s%-20s\n", + printf("%-19s%-16s%-14.14s %-20s%-20s\n", $_->{'mac'}, # MAC $_->{'ip'}, # IP address $_->{'hostname'}, # hostname The resulting output looks much better: MAC IP hostname valid until manufacturer =============================================================================================== 80:6c:1b:2e:54:f0 192.168.0.186 android-4e25a3 2015-12-12 17:55:44 Motorola Mobility LLC, a Lenovo Company 90:27:e4:f9:9d:d7 192.168.0.182 iMac-de-mac-49 2015-12-12 18:22:02 Apple, Inc. b8:8d:12:35:24:50 192.168.0.189 SimonVV 2015-12-12 18:06:01 Apple, Inc. e8:9a:8f:6e:0f:60 192.168.0.127 angela 2015-12-12 17:55:45 Quanta Computer Inc. ec:55:f9:c5:f2:55 192.168.0.179 angela 2015-12-12 17:58:25 Hon Hai Precision Ind.
