QID NA521 - pnug66 - 02-23-2010
Which command shows the mac address of stations connected to switchports
You have the answer of Show ARP which maps ip addresses to mac addresses
Surely the answer is sh mac-address?
Re: QID NA521 - bumwald - 03-23-2010
Arp is Address Resolution Protocol and is what the foundation of the internet.
Firstly, their is not Show Mac-Address command, their is a Show mac-address-table however.
Second, often in these tests they have the multiple correct answers and you must choose the best answer. Both of these commands show similar information but show arp has better information. Show arp shows you the MAC, IP, computer name, and interface. Show Mac-Address-Table is pretty worthless if you don't know what interface the computer is plugged into and the computer name is much easier to get. (Yes, you are full of fail if you don't know what interface it is plugged into.) Only problem I see with Show Arp is that it only supports TCP/IP.
