how to find a static IP

Hello people,

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.

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.

So the question is ... how do I scan every possible address in a private network. Also, is there a better way to find 
this static IP ?

Regards
Nick
