am trying to discover the IP address using fing.

I have over 30 devices on my network and everything is just listed as generic.

Is there a Prosafe Configuration utility for the Mac? - would that be able to locate my netgear devices?

   Does that mean that you didn't "ask your (unspecified) DHCP server
for a report on its clients"?

   Is the MAC address of the switch printed on its product label?

   All I know is what it says in the Installation Guide (visit
http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look for
Documentation):

      Note: The configuration utility is installed on your computer and
      is only supported on Windows.

   There are ways to run Windows on a Mac, but I'd be looking for a
simpler/cheaper way. For example, I might disconnect the switch, and
see which devices disappear. Then reconnect the switch (only, without
its attached devices), and see what appears. In some cases, a MAC
address can be tracked back to an equipment maker, using a Web sithe
like: https://macvendors.com/

   Do you enjoy detective fiction?

I have the MAC address for my Netgear. But fing is not able to show the MAC address of those identified as Generic - just says "not available"

     I'll try again.

     Still my advice.
