In principle devices learn MAC addresses of peers available through certain network interface. On my RB I can see them under switch->host ... On the other hand you can find out MAC addresses of all RB interfaces. Then you can match the lists.

I don't have host under switch menu?

Under switch I only have: ACL, FDBs, Ports, QoS, Settings, VLAN.
