ie. something that does

Answer 1

I know this is a late response, but a neat way of doing this is to ping the broadcast address which populates your local arp cache.

This can then be shown by running arp -a which will list all the addresses in you local arp table.

ping 192.168.1.255
arp -a

Hopefully this is a nice neat option that people can use.
