      If you can ping it with a machine on the same subnet/broadcast domain you
    can check your ARP tables for the IP to MAC mapping. I'm not familiar with
    Asante switches but, hopefully they can tell what port a certain MAC address
    is located on.

     I actually have all my machines register their MAC addresses before I
    assign an IP. I've written a script that scans class C subnets and the
    parses the ARP tables for new or un-registerd MAC addresses. I can then
    trace them back using our HP 4000/8000 switches.

    HTH

    * Can someone help me with the details here.

      - What topology is needed for one machine to see and store another's MAC.
    Do you need some sort of physical or virtual(VLANS) 'device' that transports
    ARP packets? How does that fit into Class C subnets and do other subnet
    types allow for OSI Layer 1 and 2 traffic.

     Please excuse my ignorance and bad wording in the matter.

    thanx,

    Subject: rogue IP address

    Someone on our network assigned an IP address to their own system without
    my knowledge. Using LANguard network scanner, the best I can tell is that
    it's a Linux box. The port-to-IP mapping table on our Asante switch
    doesn't see to work correctly.

    Any suggestions on tracing down that system that is associated with the IP
    is appreciated!
