You can also use a known MAC address and subnet location to locate the associated IP
address and host name. To do so:
1. Click Clear to clear the default values from the IP and Host fields.
2. In the IP field, enter the appropriate bytes of the subnet address:
To search an entire subnet, enter the first three bytes of the subnet address;
To search a portion of a subnet, enter the first three bytes of the subnet
address; in the fourth byte field, enter the IP at which you want the search to
start.
3. If you have chosen to search only a portion of a subnet, click to select the
Start subnet/MAC search using 4th numeric IP value shown above
option. A check mark displays in the selection box.
4. Because searching an entire subnet can be time-consuming, you can
configure the Locator Tool to stop at pre-defined intervals, asking if you want
to continue the search. To activate this option, click to select
Prompt every
XX devices , and use the text field provided to enter the number of devices
that will be located between prompts. The default value is 10.
5. Click MAC search , and enter the MAC address whose IP and host name you
wish to find in the window which appears (see Figure 3-18 ).

6. Click OK to start the search. The Locator window will expand (see
Figure 3-19 ) and a Stop Searching button displays just above the list box;
click this button at any time to stop a search in progress. If you have selected
the
Prompt option, a message window opens at the selected interval, asking
if you want to continue the search. Click Yes to continue, or No to stop.
TIP
Once the search begins, a Stop Searching button will also appear, allowing you to stop
the search at any time.
