we have ethernet network with many segments, something like campus, quite a lot of cascading switches, most of them unmanageable. sometimes, we have guests who come with their notebuk and attaches to the lan. their ip address is all i may notice, but is har to detect where is it located, which part of campus
is there some tool to trace on which switch is the computer with particular ip address attached? something like "tracert" command does, telling me over which routers is the computer connecte. but, in my case, i will like to trace not layer-3, but layer-2 info, i mean to check switches [supposing each port on each switch has its own layer-2 address, is it correct?]
thnx
