Identifying a Port or a Module Number by MAC Address
In some situations, you might want to know which port a particular MAC
address was learned. You could display the MAC Menu and scroll
through the list looking for the MAC address. But if the switch is part of a
large network, finding the address could prove difficult.
The procedure in this section offers an easier way. You could specify the
MAC address and let the management software automatically locate the
port on the switch where the device is connected.
1. From the Main Menu, type 6 to select MAC Menu.
2. From the MAC Menu menu, type 8 to select Show port and module
number of MAC address.
The following prompt is displayed:
Please enter MAC address:
3. Enter the MAC address of the node in the following format and press
the Enter key:
XXXXXX XXXXXX
The management software displays a prompt containing the port
and the module number on the switch to which the node is
connected, if the address was learned dynamically, or to which
the address was assigned, for a static address.
