Title: [WhatsUp Forum] Map Switch MAC Table

Any tool that can talk SNMP can do this, even though it may not be built into the product (it's not built into WUG).  We use Switch Port Mapper, which is part of a suite of tools from SolarWinds (www.solarwinds.net).  This will also show multiple MACs per port if a hub is connected to the switch port.  If you're looking at a layer 2 switch, you'll also need some way to map MACs to IPs since the switch doesn't know this information.  SPM accomplishes this by allowing you to reference a router so that MAC to IP resolutions can be performed through its ARP table.   Matt   From: Kevin F.
