On a cisco switch, enable, and show mac-address-table to find out which host(s) are connected to which ports.

If you know the port (for example, this evening I need port fa0/22), do a sh mac-address-table interface fastEthernet 0/22

Then, from a host with decent broadcast ping, do a broadcast ping, and grep -i for the mac address from the output of arp -a.

Oh, so *that’s* the host that is going overboard, eh?  Gotcha.

Now, all I have to do is search my blog for cisco, and I’ll have the answer.  Quickly.

As usual, starting with all things overheard:

For geeky things, I’m going to start off with some privacy links (to opt-out of tracking for advertising cookies):

Some parenting links:

Some things just for Cy:

And just plain interesting:

That last one makes my first idea for Grace’s name (Entropy) seem positively mundane.  Right?

 

For me to link to a post about a post on The fun of fatherhood.

Myself, I was never much for D&D (I played once or twice, but have always preferred SciFi over fantasy).
