Finding IP addresses of the devices connected to a switch
Hello all,
I'm very new to networking and I have a set-up for the business where I have a central router with several managed switches. Each switch has few connections to a set of PCs.
My question, is there a way to find out the IP addresses of the devices connected to the managed switch? {either by logging into the switch itself, or through an API call to the switch}.
The latter would be the one suitable for my application. I would be very grateful if anyone could provide some insight on this. Thank you so much in advance.

If a switch is configured as L3 (routing), check its ARP table. If it is a L2 switch, I'm afraid there is not an easy way to do it since L2 switches do not care about IP addresses.
