Re: [tkined] Getting MAC address off Cisco Switch

Hi Juergen,

I know that this is not that tkined related, but I guess it is interesting for
everybody managing networks - this is why I write to the list again.

My ipNetToMediaTable looks exactly the same:

ip.ipNetToMediaTable.ipNetToMediaEntry.ipNetToMediaPhysAddress.2.192.9.70.99 =
OCTET STRING: Hex: 08 00 69 0B B0 28

This is one port (2) out of 28. The switch is not able to learn all MAC
addresses on all of the ports - I wonder why?

Best regards

Jan

I don't know about your switches. But you should definately look at
the ipNetToMediaTable. The atTable is obsolete for many many years
now.
