How to Find IP Address?

I preconfigured some hardware, and have lost the IP for the Netonix. Is there an easy way to find an IP address (through some discovery mechanism perhaps), or do I just need to reset the switch?

[I installed it at a new small repeater site today, and everything is working as configured, I just cannot get into the switch. I'd rather not have to go on site to reset and reconfigure it, but maybe that will teach me not to take poor notes...]

Thank you - Chris

Well if you have kept the firmware updated and enabled UDP, or LLD, or CDP you can discover it via those discovery programs.

If it is a model with a console port you can use the console port

If you look at your router ARP/MAC table you should be able to find it there as well

Many ways to find a network device

It's a WS-6-MINI, so no console. It looks like I just messed up some configuration somewhere. I can't find a Netonix MAC (EC:...) in any of the bridging / ARP tables of any of the connected devices. I'll go on-site and reconfigure it tomorrow.

Thank you.
