What does your DHCP server say? Also, I did a quick search of www.marconi.com and learned that "Element Manager" falls under an umbrella product called "ServiceOn". It is used to managed and monitor various optical network elements so you might look at any LAN or WAN fiber you have deployed. Tim Dillman - CCE, CCNA Global Data Consulting, LLC 9901 N.

Hello all, I recently ran Angry IP Scanner to see what was on my network, so I could get the IP of a wireless access point I use to tinker
with it.
However, I found a strange thing residing at 192.168.15.2, which ran something by Marconi called Element Manager. My network starts at 192.168.0.x, so I was wondering if this is still in the realm of a private network (so far as IP assignment) and if anyone had any info on what exactly this is.
yes, 192.168.0.0/16 is considered "private" space (so is 10.0.0.0/8 and 172.16/12), so 192.168.15.0/24 fits in there.. if you have the netmasks configured right, 192.168.15.0/24 shouldn't work, though.. that is another issue, I suppose. here is a link to RFC1918: <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1918.txt>
Also, I would appreciate it if some could direct me to some decent network administration tools I can use to secure and find vulnerabilities with my network. I am still at a 'new' level with network security and administration (which I've been interested in for a long time, but I've just been overwhelmed by all the information out there) and enjoy learning whatever I can. Thanks.
personally I use nmap (latest version) for network scans (free from <http://insecure.org/>), and nessus for scanning and finding vulnerabilities <http://nessus.org/>.. as for "administration" (i.e. "fixing stuff") you're on your own. :) hth.. regards, J
