- Looking through the apic-em documentation to find if there is support for mac table of the Nexus 5500.It seems that the mac address table of the 5500 is not collected. It would be great to do a path trace of a client PC to a server that runs in the Datacenter. It looks that the apic-em reads the uplinks. and the switches/routers behind the uplinks though cdp neighbours. it also discovers the the FEX models. Will this be added in the near future.
- APIC-EM Version: 1.2.0.1594
- Grapevine Version: 1.2.0.11539.dev555-g6906b29

The only information that is required from the MAC table is the mac/ip address of the host. It is only required on the device that the host is directly connected to. This means that you would not be able to path trace to a host IP address of a device connected to a nexus 5k (at present).
