How to Find an IP Address With a Mac Address in Cisco

Cisco is a company that mainly produces routers.

The IP address, known as the Internet Protocol address of your Cisco network device, is like its identification code; network devices use IP addresses to identify and communicate with each other. The MAC (Media Access Control) addresses function similarly to IP addresses, except that they are not used for identification purposes in networks. Nevertheless, finding either one can be done through one simple step.

Instructions

1. Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to open the "Task Manager." Open the "File" tab. Click on "New Task."

2. Type the letters "cmd" into the "New Task" or "Run..." window and hit enter. A black window will appear.

3. Type in the code "ipconfig -all" into the black screen and press enter. This will show you the IP addresses of all the network devices connected to your computer, including the Cisco network device. This process also reveals the MAC addresses.
