You can sort it based on mac address. As long as the ethernet port you are using on the machine is the same, you will have a unique value to compare with. You need to build a table with the mac -> ip relation and then compare this with that. If there is a match you can group the Ip's.

 

 

Assuming you are running a linux env, you can say arp for example and it show show you the table. For getting the entire list, you can either use F5 or show arp in routers .

 

 

The ideal way to go about is to prefix like Joe said.
