Our group got a support call that a port wasn't working on a switch. A colleague started looking into the case and found that he couldn't connect to the switch. (or ping etc) He was able to get to another switch which is directly connected. Using CDP he was able to see that the switch is incorre

That blows!! Uh, can you give me a clue as to which model switch you are talking about? Maybe a secondary address on the port going to the second switch, with the wrong address as the secondary? Does it have trunking to the second switch? Can you put yourself in the vlan with the switch and wit

How were you able to get to the directly connected switch? What device are you using to talk to it and what is its IP address and subnet mask? Depending on where you are, you could set your own address to something like 10.235.1.1/8 to get to the good switch. Then change the good switch to use a s

The simplest and least-intrusive method I can think of would be to use mobile arp. Simply add 'ip arp mobile' or whatever the exact command is to the router interface leading to that switch. Then perhaps an a static host route on that same interface pointing to that oddball IP address. That woul
