Jared, At the other end of the switch port could be another switch, to which
are connected a bunch of servers.

When I do a broadcast ping, I get a 100 replies and it's not clear what
reply is the one that's directly connected to the GigE port in question.

Richard, I'm remote...and a LAN sniffer is not an option unfortunately.

thanks, JG
