Mac Address Tracking on a Extreme Summit Switch
I have configured a Summit switch with an ip address, it can be pinged from a workstation. I am trying to setup the switch so that it has to intellegence to tell me the mac address of the pc attached to any one port.
We have a rouge pc in our network and would to be able to track it by mac address or ip address, I've been told this is possible with this switch, although I am unsure if any management software is necessary.

I have not used an Extreme switch, but most switches have a show arp command that should help. You would need to ping (from the switch) the rouge PC 1st and then do a show arp. It should show you what port it is assoicated with also.

I suppose from gpriceee's answer this is a layer 3 switch? If so, the ARP table MAY tell you what port. On a layer 2 switch, you would look at the forwarding table to get the MAC to Port assignments.
Do you know the MAC or IP of the rouge PC?
