Forum,
I am having difficulty hunting down a MAC address on two connected, trunked switches.
What I am referencing more specifically is the following:
I know the IP address of a device on my network, so i ping it from one of the two connected, trunked swithces and receive a response. Then i do a
"sho arp | i 8.59 (last two octets of IP) and it gives me back:
0219300STK01#sho arp | i 8.59
Internet 10.21.8.59 8 787b.8ac8.41d5 ARPA Vlan108
Then i do a
"sho mac add | i 41d5" and it gives me back:
0219300STK01#sho mac add | i 41d5
108 787b.8ac8.41d5 DYNAMIC Te1/1/8
This port Te1/1/8 is the trunk port that connects to the other switch.
The next step i take is to log into the other switch. I repeat the process on that connected switch and it then
points me back to the trunk port that connects back to the switch i started on.
I am not able to find the port that my device with IP ending in 8.59 is connected to..
Thanks for any input..
