Find out IP address of RSA card without rebooting

do not know of an RSA card, but to get a local ip address of a windows machine:
run - cmd - ipconfig /all
in the result will be a reference to the card itself and the ip address used.

Are you sure? I have tried in ESX - no joy.

What is ESX?

The above should work in a fully working Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/2003/ME/2008/Vista machine.

Also try pinging DNS/netBios name from another computer. This should return the ip address.

ESX is a vmware product.

An RSA card is a card that fits into a machine and is ipaddressable. I dont have any servers that run Win2003 etc - just ESX. Can anyone confirm that this ipconfig/all will work for a win2k3 machine?

Cheers!

Use IFconfig command in ESX.

Found this on net.

I am no more use with this then.
Sorry.

One way to find out is if you have a manageable switch that the VMWare ESX server is connected to, you can determine the IP address. I would approach this if I had a manageable switch, either manually determine what port the ESX server RSA card ethernet cable is plugged in to, or look at the RSA card 'tag' (usually a tag on a string attached to it by IBM) and read the MAC address and then look for that address on  your switch. Once you have that, you can most likely use the switch management software to 'see' the IP for that MAC or go to your firewall and look to see if there were any ACLs or other entries that might use that MAC address - sometimes they are configured to pass through firewalls to allow remote access by IP address or range of addresses. If you can reboot the ESX server, that is the easiest way of all to get the IP address and/or change it. During boot up you'll have the option to (depending on the age of the server) either go into BIOS setup and configure the RSA card or there will be a key-combination stated in the startup that allows you to access the RSA card configuration. hope this helps?

If you have physical access to the server, just connect your laptop directly to the mgmt port of the server. Set your laptop ip in the same ip class that the RSA should be in.. Then just use an ip scanner software and bang you will get it... :-)
