ping-subnet

A tiny util for discovering alive hosts in local network. It is fully compatible with the native nodejs EventEmmiter

Installation

1npm install ping-subnet

Usage

You can specify the custom ranges parameter.

Ranges parameter is represented by array of strings. There are two possible forms: just a single IP or the range.

1const SubnetsPinger = require('ping-subnet');
2
3const ranges = [
4  '192.168.0.123',
5  '192.168.0.1-192.168.0.100'
6];
7
8const subnetPinger = new SubnetsPinger(ranges);
9
10subnetPinger.on('host:alive', ip => {
11  console.log('alive', ip);
12});
13
14subnetPinger.once('ping:end', () => {
15  console.log('ping completed');
16});
17
18subnetPinger.ping();

If the custom ranges is not specified it would be assigned using current network settings

1const SubnetsPinger = require('ping-subnet');
2
3const subnetPinger = new SubnetsPinger();
4
5subnetPinger.on('host:alive', ip => {
6  console.log('alive', ip);
7});
8
9subnetPinger.once('ping:end', () => {
10  console.log('ping completed');
11});
12
13subnetPinger.ping();
