As far as I'm aware, you have 2 choices
1) use SNMP to query the address table of a nearby router (preferably
after sending the device a ping packet)
2) find a local machine on the same subnet as the target machine, ping
the target from that machine, and then probe it's ARP table for the
MAC address.
