How to quickly see which ports goes up / down via cli - and also see the connected MAC from the Client

[frankygth]

Is there a quick way to see the connected MAC Adress via cli? Also is there a way to see quickly which ports goes up / down. I need to change VLAN’s on selected Ports, and I will discover the clients a) by just switching network down / up - since this is a stacked 48/48 Ports Switch it would be good to only filter by recent changes in up/down. Is this possible. 

2. I would also be able to see the connected MAC Adress, so I could verify if it is the right port.

I would like to do this via cli. I need to put selected Clients in a different Vlans...

Thank You very much

Not directly, but you can simply grep it.

show fdb | grep 00:08:5d

Best regards

Is there any way to search for an MAC Adress on the switch (cli)?

yes

show fdb <mac>

you just made my day 😉 Thank You very much. The last question would be, is there a sort of Wildcard within searching, or do I have to put the whole Mac Adress?
