Product Info
Specific information retrieved by this software tool
The program automatically discovers your
switch physical port configuration information. This list
shows what you will see for each port:
- Interface description (ifDescr, ifAlias,
CISCO-STACK-MIB::portname or custom)
- Interface name (ifName)
- Interface type (ethernet, virtual,
loopback etc.)
- VLAN (depending on the switch we
can even report multiple VLAN assignments per port)
- Port status (up or down)
- Port Speed (10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1Gbps
etc.)
- Port Duplex mode (full, half, auto,
FDx, HDx etc.)
- MAC addresses of devices attached
to ports and attached device network interface
manufacturer.
- IPv4 addresses and hostnames of those
devices if available**
- Port input and output byte counts
- Port bandwidth utilization
- Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) information
including port status and root information
Basic switch information (shown in a web
report or exportable as text):
- Switch Name
- Description
- Manufacturer
- Switch Uptime
- Location
- Administrator Contact Name
We can retrieve additional product specific
information such as:
- Switch model number
- Switch serial number
- Software version (ie. IOS x.x,
JUNOS, etc.)
- Firmware version
- Hardware revision
- Asset number
This additional information varies depending
on manufacturer and model.
**Obtaining IPv4 addresses.
Managed switches usually operate at layer 2 which means
they keep track of the MAC addresses attached to their ports
and report the information in Bridge-Mib and/or qBridge-mib.
The IP addresses are not kept in the switch's port forwarding
tables. When we retrieve the data from the switch, we have
to find the IP address that matches the list of device MAC
addresses for each port. We do this by searching ARP tables
from various devices. We provide two user defined methods
of retrieving ARP tables from other SNMP enabled devices
such as a server or router. Ping Sweep prefills your computer's
local ARP table with local network segment IP/MAC addresses.
How results are presented
When a switch mapping is completed, you
are presented with a Summary Report in your web browser.
The slideshow on the Overview tab shows an example Summary
Report. This report can be saved or printed as desired.
It provides a high level analysis of what was retrieved
from the switch.
The program shows the Switch Mapping results
in a spreadsheet style grid (see the slideshow on the Overview
tab). The columns of the grid can be reordered and made
visible or invisible to suit the your needs. The results
are searchable using one of the many selections available
from the right-click popup menu.
You can export the results as either tab
delimited text or XML suitable for opening directly by Microsoft
Excel or OpenOffice. The imported spreadsheet retains the
look and presentation of the results in the program.
Will it work with my switches?
Try it. That's the best way to find
out. To try it, you will need to
install our free
trial and you will need to know your switch IPv4 address
and community name. You will also need to be sure SNMP v1
or v2c are enabled on the switch and you have permissions
to access the internal MIBs (your computer IP may need to
be on an ACL too).
We have a
list of
switches that we have tested with our software and
the list includes compatibility of switches reported to
us by users. The list also shows switches that we are not
compatible with.
Benefits
- Manufacturer Independent -
capable of mapping many different brands and models
of SNMP managed switches.
- A Time Saver - saves technicians
time mapping out the physical layout of your network
by helping identify network devices attached to the
physical switch ports.
- Shows Downstream Devices -
shows multiple downstream devices connected by hubs
or other switches.
- Shows Switch Parameters -
device MAC Address, device IP address**, VLAN assignment,
port status, speed, duplex, byte counts in/out, bandwidth
usage, connected device interface manufacturer, Spanning
Tree Protocol status with root information and more.
- Identifies Virtual Operating Systems
- reports switch ports with devices running virtual
operating systems.
- Easy-to-understand Results Presentation
- spreadsheet format results can be printed in color
and searched for text strings.
- Export results to spreadsheet
schema XML or tab delimited text files - the XML
file can be directly opened by Microsoft Excel XP/2003/2007
or OpenOffice Calc.
- Results can be saved in XML and
reloaded for later review.
- Work with Multiple Switches Easily
- switch and device 'configurations' including IP
addresses and community names are automatically saved
in a database and can be loaded for rapid change between
different switches. No need to re-enter switch information.
- Integrates into NetScanTools Pro
Optional Tools menu. Operates standalone or as a
tool launched from within NetScanTools Pro.
**device IP addresses require retrieval
of ARP tables from one or more devices with knowledge of
the network. We cannot guarantee finding an IP address for
every MAC address.
