Here, STP port 67 corresponds to the physical interface Gigabit0/1. The output
also shows a bonus piece of information: the MAC address of the designated
bridge on the root port.
d. Identify the designated bridge on the root port:
(exec) show cdp neighbor type mod/num detail
The neighboring switch can be found as a Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP)
neighbor if CDP is in use. Look for the neighbor’s IP address in the output. An
example follows:
switch# show cdp neighbor gigabitEthernet 0/1 detail
