Identification of PC's
Q1 - you can get the IP address of the PC if you know the MAC address of
the NIC in the PC. That MAC address/PC mapping is a good table to keep
somewhere, where you associate the MAC address with an office location
(especially if you're using DHCP and assigning dynamic IP addresses) and a
PC name. Then, you can get the MAC-IP association from the ARP table in the
switch or the default gateway (router) for that network segment.
Q2 - sure you can! what you need to know about the PC's in question are the
MAC address of the NIC (network interface card), and associate that MAC
address with a location. In a cisco switch, depending on the operating
system, you can show cam or use menu options which gives you a listing of
the MAC addresses associated with the ports.
