I came aboard here as system support tech, and have found that management seems to think one tech for 100+ users and no network admin is adequate (the servers are taken care of by an outside contractor). The biggest hole I have found is in wireless security. We do use it, but not to my comfort level. Each of 26 APs carries its own access list, and encryption is considered too complicated. I am breaking these barriers, and have set up a radius server to centralize the mac list and provide certificates, which is why I need access to that AP (it is in a low traffic area where testing my server will cause the least amount of disruption)
Is there a way to discover the real ip of this device, or shoul I hold my testing until I can get my hands physically on the AP to reset it?

thanks
