The switch ARP table is only going to show you IPs in use on the management
vlan for the switch.

What you probably want from the switch is the mac table. show mac.

Join the mac table from the switch with the arp table from your router to
associate the mac addresses from your switch with the IP addresses on your
network.

Subject: [nsp] Catalyst arp table

Is there a way with Catalysts 2900XL/3500XL to maintain IP ARP table?

I find it almost empty, "show arp" displays only several service records,
like IP address of DNS server, and seems quite useless.
I need it for my statistics/diagnostics software. Partially, I can get
such information from router, but it looks as indirect and incomplete
method.
