port identification on C3850 series

can anyone please tell me if there is any way of knowing the switch name/address, and the port number of the switch that an office PC is connected to, without having to physically trace the cable back to the switch? I know there are some netscout/fluke devices that can give you this information among other things they are capable of doing, but is there a software tool that can simply give you these two pieces of information?

Hi,
I use command "traceroute mac <source_mac> <destination_mac>".

It gives you whole trace (switch names and ports) along whole path between these two MAC addresses.
But all switches along path must be cisco with enabled CDP protocol.
