    Hi, 
    If I know the port of computer at HP2530-48G switch, would it be possible to find it's mac information and ip? How can I do it by command or management tool? Thanks

    By command on the switch, you should use a two step appoach. In first step, I check the mac address on port 4; in second step I check the ARP table for the found mac-address:

    sw00# show mac-address 4
    
     Status and Counters - Port Address Table - 4
    
      MAC Address       VLANs
      ----------------- ------------
      ecb5fa-a7aa8e     12
    
    sw00# show arp | inc ecb5fa-a7aa8e
      192.168.12.10    ecb5fa-a7aa8e     dynamic 4

    Note that the arp entry is only there when the client is communicating with the switch or routing through the switch.

    Management tooling like Airwave, Aruba Central can provide you with similar information.
