Hi community,
Green hand, first question here, probably a naive one, but I searched and couldn't find the answer. I'm not sure if this is the right board to ask. If not, please kindly let me know which one I should post to.
I'll try to provide as much information as possible, some of them may not be relevant though, however I don't want to miss any possible useful info.
Basically, we, company A, have a Cisco 4431 router installed in the network of company B. The router manages a few servers (mostly Ubuntu, and some Windows). I usually VPN into B, and ssh into one of the Ubuntu servers (U) to work in command line environment. Now we need add an external hard drive, to be specific, Aegis Padlock DT - USB 3.0 Desktop Drive (D)
to the router so that I can backup data from U to D. D will be connected to the router via USB portal.
My question is how I can find out the IP of D assigned by the router. What I tried so far were:
1, launch Firefox on U and enter 192.168.1.1 as address, but this could not show me the router admin page but error message. I did so because I can do this at my home and get the admin page). And
2, I ssh into the router command line interface successfully, but I don't know what command(s) to use to see currently used IPs and related info. I tried to search some tutorial but didn't find the commands.
How can I find the IP of D assigned by Cisco 4431 router?
Thank you for your help!

Hi Francesco,
Thank you very much for your help!
Command
show ip arp
works. Command
show ip dhcp binding
does not return any info.
I cannot accept your answer yet, as I didn't have the driver plugged into the router yet so that I don't know if your answer could solve my question complete because I don't want to close the question yet. I think I'll have this done this week.
BTW, where can I find a list of commands? As a quick and brief tutorial.
Again, thanks a lot!
