Can you find the switch IP address was created by swardl100
HI,
Does anyone know how to find out the Cisco switch IP address thats attached to another Cisco switch?
I have a new network with no documentation and no way of chasing the fibres through walls.
Cheers.

he already gave us the info. the command is 'show cdp neighbors detail'. his new question is, how would you find that info out if cdp wasn't running on one of the switches?

Well if you knew what port the remote switch was plugged into on the local switch you could do a 'sh port <port #>' in CatOS or a ' sh int fa# status' in IOS and that will show you the MAC address of the remote switch. From there you would have to go into the router and look at the ARP table with a 'sh ip arp' or you might be able to do a 'sh ip arp <MAC address>' and that will display the IP to MAC address mapping for you.
Other than that I don't know of any other way because normal layer 2 switches don't have ARP tables, thus they don't have any IP->MAC address mappings so there is no way to find out a neighbouring switch's IP without looking at a router in charge of the segment.

Is it possible to use Arp or tracert to detect the IP Address of the switch?
