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:
Step 1
Double-click the
IPSU
icon on your computer desktop to start the utility. The IPSU screen appears (see
Figure 2-3
).
