Designed for moderate to large networks, configuration information and
|
|
connection data for network devices are retrieved by SNMP. With Netdisco you
|
|
can locate the switch port of an end-user system by IP or MAC address. Data is
|
|
stored using a SQL database for scalability and speed.
|
|
Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) optionally provides automatic discovery of the
|
|
network topology. The network is inventoried by both device model and operating
|
|
system (like IOS). Netdisco uses router ARP tables and L2 switch MAC forwarding
|
|
tables to locate nodes on physical ports and track them by their IP addresses.
|
|
For each node, a time stamped history of the ports it has visited and the IP
|
|
addresses it has used is maintained. Netdisco gets all its data, including CDP
|
|
topology information, with SNMP polls and DNS queries. It does not use CLI
|
|
access and has no need for privilege passwords. Security features include a
|
|
wire-side Wireless Access Point (AP) locator.
