Thanks Andy, Yup - it was just a temporary workaround - Console is installed but I couldn't get it running in time. Someone had cross-patched our LAN into another tenant's LAN, so just needed to quickly identify where the crossover was. Sorted now though. I knew it was one of only 3 switches so it wasn't too labour intensive! N.

Nick, Of course, if you had Atlas it would be far easier and faster across the whole network to use the compass tool rather than telnet to each switch in turn!

On the old SmartSwitch 6000 chassis, I remember I used to be able to track down a particular machine from it's IP address, by a method something like: telnet into each blade and type ping <ip address> to populate the arp table. then query the arp tabel to see which port that mac address had been seen on. if the port was an uplink, i'd move on to the switch that uplink connected to and repeat. at some point, it's report a port which wasn't an uplink and that was it. Is there a similar way of doing this from the CLI on a C2124-48P? ? Nick.
