Do small home switches like the Netgear ProSafe 5 Port Gigabit GS105 have Mac Addresses for Each physical port? If so how would you find out what they are?
Not normally. Switches only have MAC addresses if they are managed switches, otherwise they are transparent to the network. If the switch is a normal layer 2 switch, it will usually just have one MAC address for the virtual management port. If the switch is a layer 3 switch (or layer 3 capable) then it will have a MAC address for each individual port as any one of them could be converted in to routed ports. The switches we use in the show are all layer 3 switches so they have MACs for every port.
What does the Managed switch see when there are several devices with NICs connected through a (dumb) switch such as these?
The dumb switch is basically invisible, so the managed switch would just see multiple MAC addresses on one port. Here's an example:
`
Switch#show mac add
