Get Started
Locate device on network by Mac address
What's the best way to trace exactly which switch and port a device is connected to using only the Mac address on a large network?
I've done a show mac-address on the core switch and found the Mac address but I think it's connected to another switch, not sure how to figure out which switch this is?
All switches are HP.
