Hi all,

I have a MAC address of a PC which is at the access layer, I have access to the Core Huawei S5700-52C-SI switch, considering that the entire architecture has around 100's of switches on all Access, Distribution and Core how can I trace the location of the PC MAC to the switch port in the Access layer from the Core layer?

Using show mac-address-table and jumping from one switch to another is a time consuming process, is there any other way?

Thanks in advance.
