What type of switch? &nbsp;I am not a network guru but many switches don't have an IP address assigned or any web/software interface. &nbsp;Is this a managed switch?<br />

alberte,

What type of switch?  I am not a network guru but many switches don't have an IP address assigned or any web/software interface.  Is this a managed switch?

Let me know if you have any questions or need more information.

You've already connected to the console port?<br />
Use hyperterminal. &nbsp;It's standard in Windows.<br />
Assessories/Communications<wbr /><br />
Create a new profile. &nbsp;Call it something like CommCon.<br />
Settings<br />
&nbsp;Bits/sec: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 9600<br />
&nbsp;Data bits: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 8<br />
&nbsp;Parity: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;none<br />
&nbsp;Stop Bits: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1<br />
&nbsp;Flow Control: Xon/Xoff<br />
<br />
Now you're probably going to need password recovery. &nbsp;Maybe not. &nbsp;You don't specify switch model.<br />

Hi,<br />
I got an old switch that i want to reconnect. Before reconnecting<br />
to the newtwork i want to make sure it doesn't have a duplicate IP with<br />
an existing switch. I got a laptop plugged tp it and my question is<br />
if there an XP command or a utility that can help me discover the swiches IP address?<br />
<br />
Thank you all as always.

IP discovery
