6.1 Finding a Device’s IP Address and MAC
Address
This section describes how to find the IP address and MAC address of a zero client or host
card, which is necessary for many normal tasks, including the configuration tasks described
later in this chapter.
NOTE: The IP address of a zero client or host card using PCoIP technology is not the same as
the external IP address of the device’s network interface, as noted in the following section.
Instructions are provided for each type of deployment:
 Managed—Using a CMS (Sentral)
 Unmanaged
 Static sessions—Using the zero client OSD or a TCP/IP port sweep
 Deployments permitting SLP discovery—Set zero client to SLP Discovery mode and
click Connect from OSD to discover host cards on the network
 Using Wireshark—A free network protocol analyzer
 Using default, fallback IP addresses
The following figure shows each connection methodology and indicates the recommended way of
finding a device’s IP address.
