Commands to find mac-address and IP on a port

[scottcummins]

Can someone show me the commands to find a mac-address on a switch and if I know the port I am looking to find it on, also how i find the IP address on that port

[Mark Malone · Accepted solution]

sh mac address-table interface gigabitEthernet x/x

Then on layer 3 device to resolve it to ip address take the mac from above and run

show ip arp x.x.x

you don't need layer 3 device, will work fine on layer 2 switch as long ip & gateway are configured.

For eg. on Cisco 2960G switch.

c2960#sh mac address-table interface gi0/3
          Mac Address Table

Total Mac Addresses for this criterion: 1
c2960#sh ip arp  68b5.99fc.d1df
Protocol  Address          Age (min)  Hardware Addr   Type   Interface

c2960#

Mac address to IP address on Layer 3 switch -

#sh ip arp | include <all or last 4 of mac address>
