core720#sh arp | in 89.50

Internet 10.1.89.50 0 0050.564b.65b6 ARPA Vlan90

step 3:

core720#sh mac-ad

core720#sh mac-address-table | in 0050.564b.00b6

core720#

Hello UCB,

I would go on in this way that I use:

a) core720# sh ethercha sum

find the member links of Po10

let's suppose it is Gi4/1 a member link of Po10

do

b) sh cdp n g4/1

you find an hostname of next switch

c)

telnet to that switch by name or ip address

d) do

sh mac-address-table address 0050.564b.00b6

do sh cdp n of the interface listed in the output of previous command:

if no cdp neighbor is found or an IP phone is found the search is terminated

otherwise repeat steps c) e d)

Hope to help

Giuseppe

Hello UCB,

out Po41 formed by Gi1/0/41(P) Gi1/0/42(P) Gi1/0/43(P) and using LACP you probably have a server with multiple NICs using teaming

your search is terminated

0050.56 OUi :

00-50-56 (hex) VMWare, Inc.

005056 (base 16) VMWare, Inc.

44 ENCINA AVENUE

UNITED STATES

This is a VMware system with 3 NICs in bundle

Hope to help
