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

That's the point. You won't. As far as you can tell they are all equally
reachable.

 

That's part of why CDP is quite helpful.

 

What difference does it make? If that device isn't under your control
anyway?

Scott,
It *is* an L3 device but how do you know *which* one it is? The LAN address
is a /23. When I do a broadcast ping, I get a 100 responses. Don't know what
response is coming from what port.

I want to see the IP address that's configured on the device at the other
end of po20.

A56M00S14#show run int po20
!
interface Port-channel20
 switchport
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 326
 switchport mode trunk
 logging event trunk-status
 load-interval 30
end

A56M00S14#show vlan brief

VLAN Name Status Ports
---- -------------------------------- ---------
-------------------------------

326 Access_VLAN326 active Gi1/1, Gi1/2, Gi1/3, Gi1/4
                                                Gi1/5, Gi1/6, Gi1/7, Gi1/8
                                                Gi1/9, Gi1/10, Gi1/11,
Gi1/12
                                                Gi1/13, Gi1/14, Gi1/15,
Gi1/16
                                                Gi1/17, Gi1/18, Gi1/19,
Gi1/20
                                                Gi1/21, Gi1/22

thanks, GJ

Otherwise, my vote is Gremlins.

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*
