HiveManager Classic showed which physical port number each client was plugged into. HiveManager NG's client lists for switches don't show physical ports. They just show MAC addresses, IP addresses, VLANs, and a lot of useful information; but no physical interface names/numbers (port's they're connected to on the switch). I can still get this information using the CLI command 'show mac-address-table all', then I can see exactly which MAC addresses are on which ports. At that point, I can match up those MAC addresses to what is in the web UI to get all of the information I need, but it would be nice if it was already there in the web UI like it is in HM Classic.
Maybe this feature was stripped out to accommodate the newer switches? The client list is the less-common feature though, and that's all there. Just the mac-address-table list info is missing from the web UI. I thought all switches have MAC address tables though (even if you can't view them).
Thanks!

Sam, this would only show info on LLDP or CDP enabled devices, correct? I think what is being requested is either a list, a rollover, or the like, of MAC addresses and vlans associated with a particular switch port in the GUI...
show mac-addr-table interface 1/0/5
MAC Address VLAN ID Status

I've not found this feature in NG or the cloud.

Thanks for clarifying BJ. That's exactly what I mean. I usually use 'show mac-addr-table all' to get the full list, but yes. Those interface/port numbers are the missing link in the web UI when looking at the Client List. I'm fine with the CLI, but we have other techs here with view only access that would love to know. Sam is right though, that in the 'Port Status' area, it would show some info if I had LLDP populating in there. However, it's not quite the same as what the MAC address table provides. I'd love to see that info in the web UI.

We'll need to make sure LLDP is enabled throughout the network (backend and Aerohive config) (Configure> Open Network Policy> Additional Settings> LLDP/CDP), and that traps over capwap are enabled (Configure> Open Network Policy> Additional Settings> SNMP Server). Once we have these enabled, you should see that information populate in the HiveManager.
