Go to the L3 switch (or router) that routes the vlan of the user ie. the device with the default gateway IP of the PC.

Then "sh arp | include <IP address of PC>" which gives you a mac address.

On the same device "sh mac address-table address <mac address>".

This will then show you the port the mac address is on.

If the port is a connection to another switch you then need to connect to the other switch and run the mac address table command again.

Repeat until you find the port.
