L2 troubleshooting - how to find an egress port?

                 vlan10                              vlan20

Today I would like to talk about one command which can help us during troubleshooting of switching. As you see above scenario contains three routers located in two different VLANs.
Let’s try basic connectivity:

r1#ping 20.0.0.20

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 20.0.0.20, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/4 ms
r1#

r2#ping 10.0.0.10

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.0.0.10, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/4 ms
r2#

Let’s check mac address table on SW1:

SW1#sh mac address-table | i  e8b7.4842.4c58
  10    e8b7.4842.4c58    DYNAMIC     Fa1/0/9

SW1#sh mac address-table | i  04c5.a43f.d6d0
   1    04c5.a43f.d6d0    DYNAMIC     Fa1/0/13
  10    04c5.a43f.d6d0    DYNAMIC     Fa1/0/13
  20    04c5.a43f.d6d0    DYNAMIC     Fa1/0/13

SW1#sh mac address-table | i  e8b7.4842.45c9
  20    e8b7.4842.45c9    DYNAMIC     Fa1/0/12
SW1#

So, now I’d like to check what is the flow for packet sourced from Fa1/0/9 with mac address: e8b7.4842.4c58 and destination: e8b7.4842.45c9.
