Which command will show the MAC addresses of stations connected to switch ports?

A. show mac-address
B. show arp
C. show table
D. show switchport

Answer : A

Explanation:

One of the three main functions of a switch is to learn which devices—that is, MAC addresses—are associated with which interfaces or ports.
This information is stored in a port address, or content addressable memory (CAM) table. You can view the CAM table by using the show mac-address-table command.

The command show mac-address is short form of show mac-address-table.



Topology

In this simple topology there were four hosts connected to Sw-Host switch. Each of its IP address and MAC address are shown below the Host icons. The switch Sw-Hosts has been assigned IP address of 192.168.1.254. After some transactions of data between all hosts. Each and every MAC address of hosts will be stored in CAM table. Below is the output of show mac-address command used in Sw-Hosts:

Also below is the output of show arp command. But you cant find the interface used to connect to the hosts.

Cisco Packet Tracer Multi User Connection

Multiuser communication allows multiple point-to-point (peer) connections between multiple instances of Packet Tracer. By allowing communication between Packet Tracer instances, a new door has been opened to a fun, interactive, social, collaborative, and competitive learning environment. Instructors will now be able to create a variety of activities for students to learn in groups that will facilitate greater social interaction between students. Students will benefit from this environment by working together to solve problems and share ideas. Both students and teachers should take full advantage that Multiuser will offer in their learning environment. Technical Information Communicates between instances using PTMP. PTMP is TCP based. By default, uses TCP port 38000, is customizable, and each new instances on the same PC will use the next available port. On by default. UPnP will attempt to establish port forwarding to facilitate home networks. All network co

CCNA RIPv2 Simulation

Central Florida Widgets recently installed a new router in their Apopka office. Complete the network installation by performing the initial router configurations and configuring RIPv2 routing using the router command line interface (CLI) on the Apopka router. To configure the router (Apopka) click on the console host icon that is connected to a router by a serial console cable (shown in the diagram as a dashed black line). Each of the windows can be minimized by clicking on the [-]. You can also reposition a window by dragging it by the title bar. The “Tab” key and most commands that use the “Control” or “Esc” keys are not supported and are not necessary to complete this simulation. The help command does not display all commands of the help system. Configure the router per the following requirements: Name of the router is Apopka Enable-secret password is ish555ana The password to access user EXEC mode using the console is New2Rtr The password to allow te
