      It does seem like there should be an app that can do it locally though.
      Perhaps, the economic ducks need to line up for that. If a bit of code and low cost hardware can do the job for me I'd be happy with that, for awhile at least...! KISS

        gives
        iso.3.6.1.2.1.4.22.1.2.2.[ip address of phone] = Hex-STRING: [Mac address of phone]

          You probably just need to do an snmpget rather than a walk if you're just looking at an individual phone.

            Yes that works too.
            However the walk was helpful to examine the data to get the reference numbers. Not sure there is a material difference otherwise running snmpget or snmpwalk for a single result?

                  snmpwalk & snmpget, if that’s the question the answer is yes, you’ll need to install the package.

                        At least two posts here are almost certainly spam. Be on the look out! 😉
