How to identify what device or mac-address is connected to specific port of Meraki Switch?

How to identify what device or mac-address is connected to specific port of Meraki Switch? I could not trace it physically. Is there a way to know what device is connected to the port of the switch? Thanks.

There's a few ways.

Under Network-wide -> clients, you can filter for "connected to" in the search box and filter for the switch you're looking for. You can also add "port" as a table column.

Another way is to go to the switch itself (Switching -> Switches -> Select the switch), and go to Tools and click "Run" for MAC forwarding table

Another way is to go to the switch port (Switching -> Switches -> Select the switch -> select the port), and scroll down to "Current clients" for the port

Client page would be the fastest and easiest for sure. Just search for your host name or MAC as @Brash styes above

If you already know the mac address, You can also search on top of the dashboard

You can also check the Forwarding Table.

Go to the switch, click on the port and look at the clients.
If the client is a bit more silent then you could go to the mac-address table in the tools page and filter on port.

In the extreme case you have very quite clients you could add port-security sticky to that port and just see after a while what mac addresses were added on the port.
