Figure 24. Techniques for discovering device IP addresses

6.1.1 External IP Address Is Not the PCoIP Processor IP

Address

An important concept to remember when working with devices using PCoIP technology is that
the IP addresses that zero clients and host cards use to establish PCoIP sessions are not external
network interface IP addresses. For example, if you perform the ipconfig command on a blade or
VM with a host card, the command does not display the host card’s (that is, the PCoIP
processor’s) IP address.

See the following sections for instructions about how to find IP addresses in different deployments.

6.1.2 Finding an IP Address or MAC Address Using ClearCube

Sentral

You can use Sentral to find the IP address and MAC address of a zero client or host card in a
managed PCoIP environment. The following steps assume that your Sentral environment is set up
and configured correctly, that you have correctly configured and deployed PCoIP devices, and
that you have run a Sentral discovery to discover all PCoIP devices in your Sentral environment.
See Sentral Administrator’s Guide for more information about Sentral.
