I forgot the IP address of my Raspberry Pi, so I had to check which one is currently assigned to my Pi. nmap comes for that in handy.
For the host discovery I use the simple option -sn to disable the port scan. The option P allows to specify the known DHCP IP range, that shorten the host discovery time. After that you may you see active hosts and its assigned IP.
