layer 2 for 2960.<br />
10.10.10.1 is directly connected to the 2960.<br />
it is not the same as the management subnet.

layer 2 for 2960.
10.10.10.1 is directly connected to the 2960.
it is not the same as the management subnet.

Hmm... So it is difficult to locate the port where the device is connected to.

yes. I did the sh arp at the DG and get its MAC address from there. then I went to the switch where it is connected to the do sh mac address, then discover the port that way.

Right... &nbsp;Just an extra step.

I was in a Cisco 2960S and I was able to ping an IP address. However when I do sh arp | inc 10.10.10.1, it did not display it. I had to do sh mac address-table to find that MAC address with the port it is connected to. I want to know why sh arp did not show that IP address. Usually it does. Thanks

mac address not showing

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Switches / Hubs

Network analysis is the process of identifying and remediating the processes and systems within a network, including performance, connectivity and security. The process is performed through the use of tools developed for monitoring and analyzing network activity. Network problems that involve finding an optimal way of doing something are studied under the name combinatorial optimization. Examples include network flow, shortest path problem, transport problem, transshipment problem, location problem, matching problem, assignment problem, packing problem, routing problem, Critical Path Analysis and PERT (Program Evaluation & Review Technique).

Network Analysis

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.
