Using IPSU to Find the Bridge's IP Address

If your bridge receives an IP address from a DHCP server, you can use IPSU to find its IP address.
Because IPSU sends a reverse-ARP request based on the bridge MAC address, you must run IPSU from
a computer on the same subnet as the bridge. Follow these steps to find the bridge's IP address:
Double-click the IPSU icon on your computer desktop to start the utility. The IPSU screen appears (see
Step 1
Figure
Figure 5-3
When the utility window opens, make sure the Get IP address radio button in the Function box is
Step 2
selected.
Enter the bridge's MAC address in the Device MAC ID field. The bridge's MAC address is printed on
Step 3
the label on the bottom of the unit. It should contain six pairs of hexadecimal digits. Your bridge's MAC
address might look like the following example:
000164xxxxxx
Note
Click Get IP Address.
Step 4
When the bridge's IP address appears in the IP Address field, write it down.
Step 5
If IPSU reports that the IP address is 10.0.0.1, the default IP address, the bridge did not receive a
DHCP-assigned IP address. To change the bridge IP address from the default value using IPSU, refer to
