I know its a Cisco Device .. required its details..like is it switch or an AP or Router ???

 

re,

Anvar

The good question never comes across this kind of requirement myself. ( since we do have an IP address associated with the device in our database all the time).

 

Post the MAC Address let's see if I can find any other way to find what is this device.

 

By the way, what is the outcome if you know the device, you not able to visit onsite ? what is the goal of all these exercises?

Did you try checking if you have disabled CDP or maybe you are running LLDP?
Also just with MAC it's impossible to define the device type.
