I have a device on my network that is not DHCP and I dont know the IP address of it and it has not method of finding it or changing it unless you know the IP address (setable by browser).
Is there a way on linux, based on MAC address, to get the IP of the unit?
You accumulate a table of mac<->ip assocations, but only after communicating with something. arp -a will show the current entries (which expire fairly quickly). You might ping everything in the network range, then look for the mac in the arp list.
