Re: how to find a static IP

I have inherited a new SUN server, and while running the sys-unconfig command I have sort of messed it up. I know it has an ethernet management port configured with a static IP, but I do not know this IP.
Is there a console terminal? Why don't you just log into it and ask?
My idea was to connect this server and a computer on to a switch, boot a linux and port scan every internet address. Since its a private lan I would not be bothering anyone else. Since there is no dhcp and I want no routing I started the ethernet using ifconfig eth0 1.1.1.1 netmask 0.0.0.0 up The device started, but when I use nmap to scan IPs it does not know how to route packets.
I don't know what you're doing with nmap, but 'nmap -sP 192.168.3.0/24' scans my LAN and tells me the IP and MAC and reverse lookup of every host on the net.
Another possibility would be to look at the ARP table of one of the other hosts on the LAN ('arp', on Linux). That gives a list of most hosts (I just tried it, and it didn't see the TV set)...
