Yes it is possible, but it is still the job of the network configuration
and not of the ethernut device.
The only fixed data of a delivered ethernut device is the MAC.
print it onto the device.
If you search a device you can ping your network broadcast and look into
your arp table.

Part IP configuration tells the commands required.

There was also some kind of broadcast based IP configuration service.
Start the windows based configurator and it lists all ethernut devices
in your LAN running this service.
I can't find the reference right now.
