Identify neighbour causing spanning tree to block port on Aruba J9773A

Spanning Tree is blocking one of the ports on one of my Aruba J9773A switches.

How do I discover what port on what device is on the other end of the cable connected to that port?
It's probably one of many other Aruba switches in that location, I would like to know precisely which one.

What I've tried:

  1. List LLDP neighbours/remote-devices on that port: None.
  2. View the MAC address learned on that port: None.
  3. Looked over the spanning tree debug information, and other spanning tree logs: Didn't include what I'm looking for.

Is tracing the physical cable the only way to figure this out?
