Do you have the SolarWinds MAC Address Discovery tool? It works very well. It will map MAC's to IP's. Then you can sort all in numerical order and find the IP's easily by comparing with your MAC list.

Hi, Today I embarked on a project to map all of our access points in our district. Over time, I have lost track of their a) location, and b) IP addresses. I have the locations figured out now, but I am struggling with finding the IP addresses of these AP's. I have the MAC address of the AP's and have tried arp -a to match an IP, but so far, those MACs are not showing in the list. I have checked the DHCP to see if any show up there, and have tried many http://192.168.x.x combinations just trying to see if it brings up the authentication window. I have run Solar Winds to find all active IP addresses. I have run AngyIP also to find the IP's being used. I am using a nice tool to see the AP's on my laptop, but it just shows channel, MAC, Privacy, Signal Strength, SSID, but no IP address. All AP's are Linksys WAP54G (Various versions). What am I missing? I feel I am going down the wrong road here and am hoping for a better solution to find those IP addresses. Any help is greatly appreciated. Mr. John E.
