Default How to get a list of IP addresses connected to a WISP home broadband router?

Try:
cat /proc/net/arp
or:
ip neigh show dev br0
br0 might be eth0 or something else if your M2 is setup as a router.

I'm mainly trying to understand what's going on, by looking at
whatever information is available to me as I log into the rooftop
radio.


One must suffer before enlightenment.

Some of the key stuff I'm trying to figure out remotely is what
IP addresses are connected to the home broadband router,


http://home.comcast.net/~jay.deboer/airsnare/

and, what
destination IP addresses those clients are attempting to visit.


I usually use SNMP in the router in order to get that info.
If (and only if) your Ubiquiti is setup as a bridge, you can sniff the
traffic between the wireless bridge and the router (on the router WAN
port), and get the same information. Insert a HUB (not a SWITCH)
between the Ubiquiti M2 and your unspecified router. Add a PC running
WireShark or your favorite sniffer software, and you should get
something useable.

You can also sniff just the HTTP traffic with:

Take a good look at Nir Sofer's tools. They're quite useful:

I think I have made headway on finding the home broadband router
IP address by lookint at the /etc/dnsmasq.conf file.


Go thee unto Google at:
https://www.google.com
Inscribe into the designated search box the words of empowerment:
"what is my IP"
Through the magic of Google, your WAN IP address will be displayed.

I think there's a ton of information about the destination IP
addresses in the /proc/net/nf_conntrack file.


Dunno. I don't have any Ubiquiti hardware handy to test it.

So, I have a long way to go ... but every bit of advice helps,
and, I, for my part, will echo back what I've learned to the
group by way of payback.


Learn by destroying, which means that if you haven't broken something,
you don't really understand how it works.

Now, go away so I can get some paying work done.
