An information handling system may include at least one processor and a memory. The information handling system may be configured to receive a plurality of address resolution protocol (ARP) packets based on requests that have been transmitted from a provisioning system to a plurality of network addresses; based on contents of the plurality of ARP packets, determine one of the plurality of network addresses as a potential network address; based on the contents of the plurality of ARP packets, determine a potential gateway address; and use the potential network address to attempt to communicate with the provisioning system via the potential gateway address.
