Do you know the subnet addresses? If so, you could ping the subnet broadcast
address and then look in the ARP table for the IP address and MAC of the
reply packets (if the ping response wasn't clear enough).

Subject: what's on the other side of a GigE port?

Ya I know, this is Networking-101, shame on me....but I can use some help
here....

Assuming there's no CDP running on the box, how do I find out the IP address
of the devices that are connected to GigE ports on my WS-C4948?

*GigabitEthernet1/23 unassigned YES unset up
up
GigabitEthernet1/24 unassigned YES unset up
up

*Assume these are dedicated switch ports with only one device on the other
end. *

*thanks, JG*
