Thanks!

You can trace your servers with the following methods:
show arp | include "IP address"
from this output copy the MAC of the server and use this address in the nest command.
show mac addres-table | include "MAC"
VLAN MAC Type Port
100 xxxx.xxxx.xxxx DYNAMIC Gi0/1
Finally you will got the port number where the server connects to.

it works in many switches.
but don't work in catalyst 5509, since no "show mac addres-table". Is there any other command instead?

CatOS or IOS? Try with dash after the mac
show mac-address-table

or show cam

Hi Sam,
just issue the command show ip arp
Protocol Address Age (min) Hardware Addr Type Interface
Internet 10.2.1.18 9 0800.6913.710e ARPA Vlan2
to know on which port it is connected, just issue the command as mentioned below
sh mac-address-table address 0800.6913.710e
Mac Address Table
-------------------------------------------
Vlan Mac Address Type Ports
---- ----------- -------- -----
2 0800.6913.710e DYNAMIC Po1
hpe this will help you to identify your servers.

How come a layer 2 switch holds an ARP-table? Isn't it something a layer 3 device should have?
thx in advance,

Hi,
I have a L3 switch (CAt 3560) and when I do a show arp I only see the private ips for my internal network through vlan 2 which is only for managemnet of this switch on port gi0/1 but no MAC address for the devices I have connected to other ports or interfaces with public IP address?
this switch sits on the edge of my network connecting my routers and PIXs together.
is this naural behavior? i think I must see the MAC addresses all the devices ocnnected to this switch ports?!
any thoughts?
Thx,
Masood
