DEX's IP visibility gives administrators insight into three different IP types per device:

1. **Device**: The private IP address of an end-user device.
2. **ISP**: The public IP that the ISP assigns when it routes the end-user device's traffic.
3. **Gateway**: The router's private IP (the router the end device is connected to.)

Note

The ISP IP is only visible to users with the [Zero Trust PII role](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/roles-permissions/#cloudflare-zero-trust-pii).

DEX's IP visibility supports both IPv6 and IPv4 addresses.

IP information helps IT administrators troubleshoot network issues and identify device locations. Common uses include:

* Identifying which access point or network segment a user is connected to
* Verifying that network access control (NAC) policies are applied correctly
* Diagnosing firewall restrictions on specific VLANs (virtual local area networks)
* Troubleshooting Layer 2 (data link layer) and DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) issues
* Indirectly determining user identity and device location

## View a device's IP information

To view IP information for a user device:

1. In [Cloudflare One ↗](https://one.dash.cloudflare.com/), go to **Team & Resources** \> **Devices** \> **Your devices**.
2. Select a device, then select **View details**.
3. Go to **IP details**.
4. Review the IP details for your selected device's most recent session.

## View a device's IP history

DEX's IP visibility allows you to review an event log of a device's IP history for the last seven days. To view a device's IP history:

1. In [Cloudflare One ↗](https://one.dash.cloudflare.com/), go to **Team & Resources** \> **Devices** \> **Your devices**.
2. Select a device > **View details** \> go to **IP details**.
3. Select **View all ISPs**.

## Troubleshoot with IP visibility

While IP visibility allows you to inspect a device's IP information, use [DEX's live analytics](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/insights/dex/monitoring/#available-metrics) to review which Cloudflare data center the device is connected to. When traffic leaves a Cloudflare One Client-connected end-user device, it will hit a [Cloudflare data center](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/support/troubleshooting/general-troubleshooting/gathering-information-for-troubleshooting-sites/#identify-the-cloudflare-data-center-serving-your-request).

To find which Cloudflare data center a device is connected to:

1. Follow the steps listed in [View IP information](#view-a-devices-ip-history) to find a device's IP information.
2. On the device page, select **Colocation & client** or find the **Client** table at the top of the page.
3. In the **Client** table, find **Colocation** to review which Cloudflare data center your selected device's outbound (egress) traffic is routed through.
