- netstat or route: Looking up routing table that contain all hosts since last update
- ping a.b.c.255:By broadcast pinging. If configured, gives all the hosts in the subnet on host from which ping is
executed
- tcpdump: by looking at the local traffic in promiscuous mode using protocol analyzers or tcpdump
