How to find to which switch host is connected ?

[Christopher_Escalante]

Let's suppose we have RW (read-write) access to all network devices (without workstation). What commands, and on which device should be used, to find where exactly host is connected ?

MAC is the Only unique for any Ethernet device.

You can issue where Layer 3 Interface or SVI configured on that switch.

show ip arp | in  (MAC Address) will tell you where this come from

show mac-address-table | in (mac) show you where the device is connected

is this make sense ?

Hello

you can map firstly host's mac address and do a trace route mac to find where is connected.

show ip arp (get mac host's mac address)

trace route x.x.x(source mac) x.x.x (destination mac)    -  source and destination must be the same mac.
