Subject: How to find out the port number by IP address
Solution:
In core switch, ping the IP address,
Ex:
telnet@GemHF-Fab-Core#ping 10.20.12.111
Sending 1, 16-byte ICMP Echo to 10.20.12.111, timeout 5000 msec, TTL 64
Type Control-c to abort
Reply from 10.20.12.111 : bytes=16 time=1ms TTL=128
Success rate is 100 percent (1/1), round-trip min/avg/max=1/1/1 ms.
telnet@GemHF-Fab-Core#
And then:
telnet@GemHF-Fab-Core#sh arp 10.20.12.111
IP Address Mac Address Type Age Port Status
1 10.20.12.111 6c62.6d99.023c Dynamic 1 1/19 Valid
telnet@GemHF-Fab-Core#
And we find one device be connected to Port:1/19
But the device's IP address is 10.20.12.111?
Let show MAC address again.
telnet@GemHF-Fab-Core#sh mac ethernet 1/19
Total active entries from port 19 = 10

telnet@GemHF-Fab-Core#
We can find not only 6c62.6d99.023cdevice communication by this switch port. So we know a switch or router be connected to this switch port number.
Let me show fdp(Cisco named CDP) neighbor.
telnet@GemHF-Fab-Core#sh fdp neighbors ethernet 1/19
Device ID: HF-OA-B1-1C
configured as tag-type8100
Entry address(es):
IP address: 10.20.0.20
Platform: FES4802 Switch, Capabilities: Switch
Interface: ethernet1/19
Port ID (outgoing port): ethernet50 is TAGGED in following VLAN(s):
2 11
Holdtime : 122 seconds
Foundry Networks, Inc. FES4802, IronWare Version 03.6.00cTc1 Compiled on Oct 31 2006 at 22:18:23 labeled as FES03600c
One device named HF-OA-B1-1C be connected to this port.
Now let's login this switch by telnet.
Let's ping the IP address: 10.20.12.111 at first.
telnet@HF-OA-B1-1C#ping 10.20.12.111
Sending 1, 16-byte ICMP Echo to 10.20.12.111, timeout 5000 msec, TTL 64
Type Control-c to abort
Reply from 10.20.12.111 : bytes=16 time<1ms TTL=127
Success rate is 100 percent (1/1), round-trip min/avg/max=0/0/0 ms.
telnet@HF-OA-B1-1C#^C
telnet@HF-OA-B1-1C#
And then let's show the mac address:
telnet@HF-OA-B1-1C#sh mac-address
Total active entries from all ports = 31

We can find the mac-address 6c62.6d99.023c matching with IP address, and the switch port number is 7. but we find not only the mac address communication by this switch port. Let's check it again. We find one a small hub is connected to this switch port. So we can ignore this small HUB and think the device directly connected to this port.
Now we have found the switch port.
