I believe Fluke has a meter which will assist in this too.

Not sure what equipment you are using but starting with CAT OS 6.1:
Layer 2 Traceroute
The Layer 2 Traceroute utility allows you to identify the physical path
that
a packet will take when going from a source to a destination. The Layer 2
Traceroute utility determines the path by looking at the forwarding engine
tables of the switches in the path.

cisco's CDP but you must have all cisco devices for this to work.

Does anyone know of a layer 2 connectivity test tool - something the
equivalent of a MAC address based "ping" tool, (yes - I know that ping
uses
ICMP at layer 3, but you get the idea). Basically, have a bridged
network
where we want to perform a simple test to see if certain MAC filters
are
working appropriately. Need to probe a target node based on it's MAC
address and see if it responds. Searched the net pretty extensively
but no
luck. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for the help.
