Very closed. but better yet is: |

Knowing MAC address but looking for IP |
| 15 |
tcpdump -e -i eth0 |grep -i "00:09:45:52:04:da" |
| 16 |
Since I know the MAC address, the above command will capture the IP |
| 17 |
address of the device when plugged into the server. |

| 19 |
Knowing IP address but looking for MAC |
| 20 |
ping IP |
| 21 |
arp -e |
| 22 |
