Is there any way to tell if the computer you are currently working on is connected to a switch (edit: before it goes to a router and the internet)? Preferable on Linux, but I'm interested in answers for Mac and Windows as well.
Of course tracing the cable doesn't count.
Is this just for curiosity's sake or are you trying to answer another question? – Stephen Jennings – 2009-10-17T23:51:01.187
Mostly for curiosities sake. I just recently learning how find a MAC address by IP (arp -a) and now I'm wondering if it can be applied to switches as well. – Jason Axelson – 2009-10-17T23:57:51.797
