With Bonjour activated on your PC it's easy to discover devices on your LAN and reach them using their hostnames and .local domain instead of its IP address.
For example you can reach the web page on a CORE9G25 board simply using this URL:
or open an SSH session with it by typing:
$ ssh root@core9g25.local
Windows PC:
Download and install Bonjour on your Windows PC following this link:
Linux Ubuntu PC:
Install libnss-mdns package then try a ping to the CORE9G25 board typing:
~$ ping myboard.local
PING myboard.local (192.168.1.7) 56(84) bytes of data.

Or scan your LAN by typing:
~$ avahi-discover
