Network device discovery
Hi guys. I'm looking for software that will discover network devices site-wide, as the start-point for an asset management db. Looking for MAC and IP primarily, but if manufacturer\model would be great too. Having command line execution, connectivity diagram output and being opensource\free, would all be a bonus. Not looking forward to having to do it manually, so what's out there to make life easier? Almost time for a beer. Thanks, Paul.

Andy did a NetDot demo in the recent meeting in Wellington, showing how it's used to do all that kind of stuff across Citylink's network. You might poke around for the r2 streams if you want to see Andy in full flight, or else go look around http://netdot.uoregon.edu. Joe

Yes, netdot is probably the most versatile at this point. It can also provision Nagios, Cacti, Rancid, Smokeping etc... based on what it finds. Cheers, Phil
