arpwatch

Arpwatch maintains a database of Ethernet MAC addresses seen on the network, with their associated IP pairs. Alerts the system administrator via e-mail if any change happens, such as new station/activity, flip-flops, changed and re-used old addresses.

If you want to maintain a list authorized MAC addresses manually, take a look at the arpalert package which may fit your needs better.

ARP2ETHERS(8)               System Manager's Manual              ARP2ETHERS(8)

NAME
       arp2ethers - convert arpwatch address database to ethers file format

SYNOPSIS
       arp2ethers [ arp.dat file ]

DESCRIPTION
       arp2ethers  converts  the  file  /var/lib/arpwatch/arp.dat (or the file
       specified on the command line) into ethers(5) format on  stdout.   Usu-
       ally  arp.dat is an ethernet/ip database file generated by arpwatch(8).
       The arpwatch daemon in Debian will create different  arp.dat  depending
       on  its  configuration.  All of them will be available at /var/lib/arp-
       watch/.

FILES
       /var/lib/arpwatch - default directory for arp.dat
       arp.dat - ethernet/ip address database

sed: invalid option -- 'h'
Usage: sed [OPTION]... {script-only-if-no-other-script} [input-file]...

  -n, --quiet, --silent
                 suppress automatic printing of pattern space
      --debug
                 annotate program execution
  -e script, --expression=script
                 add the script to the commands to be executed
  -f script-file, --file=script-file
                 add the contents of script-file to the commands to be executed
  --follow-symlinks
                 follow symlinks when processing in place
  -i[SUFFIX], --in-place[=SUFFIX]
                 edit files in place (makes backup if SUFFIX supplied)
  -l N, --line-length=N
                 specify the desired line-wrap length for the `l' command
  --posix
                 disable all GNU extensions.
  -E, -r, --regexp-extended
                 use extended regular expressions in the script
                 (for portability use POSIX -E).
  -s, --separate
                 consider files as separate rather than as a single,
                 continuous long stream.
      --sandbox
                 operate in sandbox mode (disable e/r/w commands).
  -u, --unbuffered
                 load minimal amounts of data from the input files and flush
                 the output buffers more often
  -z, --null-data
                 separate lines by NUL characters
      --help     display this help and exit
      --version  output version information and exit

If no -e, --expression, -f, or --file option is given, then the first
non-option argument is taken as the sed script to interpret.  All
remaining arguments are names of input files; if no input files are
specified, then the standard input is read.
