I, uh...don't actually know how to do that. I've not done very much with
SNMP other than working with power management devices. If someone could
direct me to a good tutorial, that would be much appreciated.

Is it just WAPs that you are worried about or any rouge device at the
remote sites?  If you're doing medical data then I would think that any
non-company device would be suspect.  If that is the case then ARP
scraping
is the better way.  Basically you need an inventory of what is at the
sites.  This you should already have and if you don't, that is your first
step.

A bit of perl and expect scripting would get you a long way to your goal.
  Like I mentioned before, if you don't have the time/talent to script the
task, call out for a coder-for-hire.


You should be able to get the ARP table off a router using SNMP, which
would be much cleaner than using expect to login to a router's management
interface...

HTH,
Chris
