I know the IP adress of a piece of equipment on my network. The problem is that I don’t know the piece of equipment that had that exact IP. If I know the ip address, how do I find out the exact piece of equipment. Is there a way I can find out the drop number somehow? Any other ways I can find out where the equipment is located on my network?
