How to find out the IP of the switch by mac address?

Question

Cisco

Good afternoon, the snag is this: there is an average network of 200+ L2 switches, as well as several L3 routers, mostly cisco 7600, you need to find a switch with a given poppy address.
Commands "sh mac address-table address ..." , "sh arp " in the table does not display anything for this poppy.
What other method can be used to solve this problem?

Answer 1

Networks for all switches different?

Answer 2

We track it in a chain from the ports of L2 switches. Not the fact that this poppy is generally a switch.

Answer 3

Are you sure that this switch has an IP address at all?
Maybe it is not assigned to any interface, or it is assigned, but in some "left" VLAN?!
I think the most correct way is to physically approach the switch with a laptop, connect with a serial cable (such a blue one) and see its settings through the terminal. If you know your username and password of course.

Answer 4

The question is how did you even get into the network with 200+ switches?
I so understand that you use cisco. Then, you need to read in the direction of cdp.
