I have a couple of ports on a switch that are showing as connected but showing speed of 10FDx. Is there any easy way to find out what is at the other end of that port? Could it be a PC which is switched off but has WOL enabled? Would this show as 10FDx?

Possibly, depending on what switch you are using you could see if there is any MAC address on the port, then you could look this up in DHCP or online MAC OUI?

How can I see what MAC address is attached to the port please?

CLI is quickest

 

sh mac-a [port or module/port]

 

i.e. sh mac-a A2

 

Strange, no mac address being shown on that port but the switch states that it is up and connected at 10FDx. Other ports that are connected at 1000FDx are showing mac addresses.

It will be a machine that is switched off - the mac addresses leave the table after 5 mins of inactivity. Probably as you say WOL is causing that connection.
