Richard,
Generally speaking, you cannot determine the PC's IP address from the switch
(Layer 3 Switching aside), but you can determine the MAC addresses of each
device connected to each port. Displaying the MAC table of the switch (since
you haven't provided the specific platform) is an excercise best left to the
reader. Determine the MAC address of the PC, and then show the MAC table from
the switch. That ought to give you the information you're looking for.
That's one way... Since I'm a lazy cheater, and would spend countless hours
researching a way to trim 30 seconds off a two-minute process, here's what I'd
do...
>From the switch, ping the PC in question, and then check the arp table. This
will save you the trouble of trying to figure out how to display the MAC address
of the card in the PC. Compare the resulting ARP entry to the switch's MAC
table and you're done.
Wouldn't it be great if PCs spoke CDP? ;)
