When you have time, consider looking into running something like Netdisco against your switches and routers. Without a MAC, it's not straightforward. It's not really difficult either, but if you're new to networking all the suggestions I can think of (put an IP address on the ports vlan, ping the host, look in the ARP table; put a logging firewall filter in, look for matches; enable DHCP/ARP snooping) carry a risk of breaking things. It would be a lot easier if you could find the MAC address from the router. Can you really not do that? Or if you can get to the host, just unplug then re-attach the host, then look in the switch logs for which port just came up. If not, the "safest" thing is probably to modify the switch to have an IP address on the port VLAN and ping the host, then find the MAC from the ARP table like so: == Add the IP to the vlan == configure set vlan <name> l3-interface vlan.<tag> set interfaces vlan unit <tag> family inet address <ip/mask> commit == Find the IP/MAC/port == run ping <ip> count 1 run show arp no-resolve hostname <ip> run show ethernet-switching table | match <MAC from the ARP output> == Undo adding the IP rollback 1 commit _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
