Kiwi Cat Tools has a great report called Report.X-Ref.Port MAC ARP. This report combines two separate jobs: Report.mac address-table and Report.arp table, and then creates a combined spread sheet that tells me what device/IP Address/MAC is plugged into a switch and its port.
We would like something similar in NCM. This tool is great for troubleshooting where an IP address is and where a MAC ID might reside. However, NCM does not have any report generation based on MAC address table, it does get ARP information however.
A sample of the report from Kiwi CatTools is below.
