Why "arp" does not help you? Switches does not interfere with content of packects and MACs are passed by it. Or you mean that you cannot read packets not destined to your MAC, but it is different thing, you can send ping to get some packets back. You can also use "arpwatch" to store IP and related MAC in file and eventually inform about changes.
