Quickly scan a network or subnet to see which hosts are up using nmap. You may need to install it first.
Installation is as easy as sudo apt-get install nmap
Once installation has completed, scan a range of IP addresses to see which ones are live using the following command as an example…
nmap -sP 192.168.1.1-254
The output will be something like this…
Here you can see that in my network, at present hosts 192.168.1.1 thru 5 are up, along with 14 and 15.
