Abstract:
A method for remapping a Media Access Control (MAC) address mapped to a virtual IP address. The method includes examining an activity data file to identify the virtual IP address mapped to the MAC address and remapping the identified MAC address to an IP address. The virtual IP address may be identified utilizing a criteria, such as by determining that the virtual IP address may have two or more mapped MAC addresses. Other criteria may also be suitably employed. A portion of the IP address may be automatically generated. A user may be queried to confirm the generated portion of the IP address. The portion of the IP address may be determined based on prior user entrance of an IP address. The portion of the IP address may be predetermined by a user assigning a naming convention.
