There are two or three places where you will find a mapping between MAC and IP address. Then from the MAC you can find the port.
The main one is in the ARP table of the router for that subnet. The router could be the EX2200 itself or a different device in the network. If the router runs Junos: show arp hostname a.b.c.d The second place is in the DHCP server's lease database if the client is using DHCP to acquire its IP address. If the DHCP server is running on the EX: show dhcp server binding a.b.c.d A possible third place is in the DHCP binding table if you are using DHCP Snooping on the EX: show dhcp snooping binding | match a.b.c.d The nice thing about DHCP Snooping is it will enforce clients to use DHCP, so they can't type in any old IP address which could possibly be a duplicate or unassigned address.
