A hostname is useful.
A MAC address is useful.
But during support work, the current IP address is often the thing someone asks for first.
Cyber Detective system audits now collect enabled network adapter details, including IPv4 addresses, IPv6 addresses, adapter MAC address, DHCP state, DNS servers, and gateways.
Portal 2 reads that audit data and shows the primary IP address on the PC audit page.
Why this matters at sea
Vessel networks can be messy in normal, ordinary ways.
PCs move between networks.
Adapters change.
DHCP leases expire.
Support teams may be working remotely with limited visibility and limited time.
Having the current audited IP address in the portal gives teams another useful clue before they start remote work.
Audit-backed, not guessed
The IP address shown in the portal comes from the returned system audit.
That keeps it tied to the same audit timestamp as the rest of the PC health data.
If the audit is stale, the IP address should be treated as stale too.
That is still better than guessing from an old spreadsheet or support note.
Bottom line
Portal 2 now has better network identity for audited PCs.
Current IP visibility makes endpoint support faster and gives teams more context when reviewing a vessel PC.
