DEX's IP visibility gives administrators insight into three different IP types per device:
11+
12+
1. **Device**: The private IP address of an end-user device.
13+
2. **ISP**: The public IP assigned by the ISP that the end-user device is being routed though.
14+
3. **Gateway**: The router's private IP (the router the end device is connected to.)
15+
16+
:::note
17+
18+
The ISP IP is only visible to users with the [Zero Trust PII role](/cloudflare-one/roles-permissions/#cloudflare-zero-trust-pii).

DEX's IP visibility supports both IPv6 and IPv4 addresses.
23+
24+
IP information is crucial for IT administrators to accurately troubleshoot network issues and identify user locations. IT administrators face challenges like:
25+
26+
- Pinpointing the exact location of a user experiencing issues ("AP 87 is bad.")
27+
- Identifying network access control policy violations ("NAC Policies is not applied properly.")
28+
- Troubleshooting firewall restrictions ("Firewall on VLAN 93 is blocking.")
29+
- Resolving Layer 2 and DHCP related problems.
30+
- Indirectly determining user identity and device location.

## View a device's IP information
33+
34+
To view IP information for a user device:
35+
36+
1. In [Zero Trust](https://one.dash.cloudflare.com/), go to **My team** > **Devices**.
37+
2. Select a device, then select **View details**.
38+
3. Under **Details**, scroll down to **IP details**.
39+
4. Review the IP details for your selected device's most recent session.
40+
41+
## View a device's IP history
42+
43+
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:
44+
45+
1. In [Zero Trust](https://one.dash.cloudflare.com/), go to **My team** > **Devices**.
46+
2. Select a device > **View details** > under **Details**, scroll down to **IP details**.
47+
3. Select **View device history**.
48+
4. View the device's IP history and status from the last seven days.
49+
5. Select a time to view more information about the device at that time.
50+
51+
Refer to [Available metrics](/cloudflare-one/insights/dex/fleet-status/#available-metrics) to review **Status** and **Mode** descriptions.
52+
53+
## Troubleshoot with IP visbility
54+
55+
While IP visibility allows you to inspect a device's IP information, use [DEX's live analytics](/cloudflare-one/insights/dex/fleet-status/#available-metrics) to review which Cloudflare data center the device is connected to. When traffic leaves a WARP-connected end-user device, it will hit a [Cloudflare data center](/support/troubleshooting/general-troubleshooting/gathering-information-for-troubleshooting-sites/#identify-the-cloudflare-data-center-serving-your-request).
56+
57+
To find which Cloudflare data center a device is connected to:
58+
59+
1. Follow the steps listed in [View IP information](#view-a-devices-ip-history) to find a device's IP information.
60+
2. Select **Device Monitoring** above **Device event log**.
61+
3. Find **Colo** in the **Device details** table to review which Cloudflare data center your selected device's egress traffic is connected to.
