Question
Find networked device's IP address (On an unkown network) using items mac address
I have an Hp Ip kvm that I cannot find on our local network. I am sure it has an IP address but I have absolutely no clue what that could be or what network it could be on (ie 192.168.1.0/24, 172.16.1.0/24 10.2.1.0/24). I have the Mac address of the kvm but nothing else. The console port does not work and the kvm management software can't find it.
I have Backtrack 2 and I tried netdiscover but it is just taking entirely too long I let it run for about 16 hours and it found other items but when i stopped it it hadn't found the kvm yet.... I didn't specify any options I just typed netdiscover and let it run.... does anyone know any other specifics on netdiscover.

Rob. no i have no idea what subnet this thing is on... I think netdiscover will be able to find it but its going to take forever to find it... from what i understand netdiscover works by changing the nic's ip each time it changes networks... the more i think about it the less optimistic i feel about finding a faster better method.
kgreeneit, thats a great tool but i don't think it will find devices on a different network will it?
hi there again, here's a link to download a user manual for the HP IP KVM switch. By the look of it, you cannot assign an actual IP address to it, nor can it take an ip address from DHCP or nor does it come with a default factory set ip address built in - you need to connect to it either with a serial cable from the KVM to the server and then use the console OSD to service it or if you want to manage it through a LAN connection, then you need to use a crossover cable coming from your lan port on the kvm to your laptop/computer. From here you need to use a Terminal emulator such as Hyper Terminal to log into the device and manage it. Here's the link anyway - check out the section on connecting with a LAN connection:

Thanks your the only one on the post that actually read the question through... half the people didn't seem to want to accept the fact that i had no idea what subnet it was sitting on or that there was even an app out there that would scan every possible subnet looking for the device.. after I posted the question I ran netdiscover until it completed (took 3 and a half days to complete) and it still didn't find anything.. you can bet i'll be setting through a hyperterm session today or tomorro.

Can you narrow it down to a few subnets like your list above? It must be on one of your existing subnets in order to work. You must also be on a network segment that has connectivity to it as well, or at least connected by a router. If so the following is quite quick, and has SNMP capabilities with which it could probably confirm the devices identity.
