Get MAC from DUID

[Tim Peiffer]

I saw a reply that says forget it and that the DUID can be manufactured.
For IPv6, Vista and other devices offer privacy extensions that hash the
IP address (even link local) every few hours, so relying on a table with
privacy fudge is no exactly helpful. RFC 3041 says the process is
supposed to be opaque to the outside.

What remains is OT.. so if you object, hit <delete>.

I would like to suggest that you turn to address tracking to find this
information. IPv6 provides the MAC address for every 'neighbor' in a
manner similar to the IPv4 ARP table.. Explicitly ask the devices (maybe
the router, maybe the DHCP server) on the wire with host for the
neighbor relationship. With vendor 'C', it is 'show ipv6 neighbor [ipv6
address]', With Unix, 'ip -f inet6 neigh', with XP, 'ipv6 nc' will show
you the neighbor cache. Filter out the link local addresses, the tunnel
addresses, and the stale entries, and you have the IPv6 to MAC binding.

Of course, the other part of the equation is physical location of
binding an address to switchport and room/jack.

Regards,
Tim
