The amount of traffic generated from a PING is minimal - nobody will generalle care for 1000 machines, even 10000 will probably be fine on a decent network. it may trip up on any decent intrusion detection system as a potential scan, but from inside and assuming your a member of IT or IS - nobody should care.

Hi,<br />
<br />
You can do it with the following script. Just save it in a .BAT file and than run it. It will generate a output.txt<br />
Offcourse you will need to specify the correct ip range you want to scan and the times it will run now set to 255.<br />
<br />
@echo off<br />
SET t=0<br />
:start<br />
SET /a t=t+1<br />
ping -n 1 -l 1 192.168.1.%t% &gt;&nbsp;nul<br />
if %errorlevel%==0 echo Host %t% is UP! &gt;&gt;&nbsp;output.txt<br />
if %errorlevel%==1 echo Host %t% is DOWN! &gt;&gt;&nbsp;output.txt<br />
IF %t%==255 Exit<br />
Goto start

@echo off

ping -n 1 -l 1 192.168.1.%t% > nul
if %errorlevel%==0 echo Host %t% is UP! >> output.txt

IF %t%==255 Exit

Is there any simple way to ping upwards of 1000 IP addresses to see which reply and put it in a tidy format? Will pinging so many all at once cause serious performacne / confusion impacts to the network?

IP Range Ping

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
