RE: how to find a static IP

Nick:

Use a cross cable with a Linux box and send "ping -b 255.255.255.255". "-b" for broadcast.

Usually the "Net management port" of SUN servers is 10Mb autosense  only. Try to connect with the Serial managemente 
port (a ligth blue Cisco cable will work). The user could be "admin".

Using the sys-unconfig script will not erase the contentes of the RSC/ALOM/Ilom/ELOM/SXCP management port.

I Hope this could help.

Asunto: 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
