Netdisco is an Open Source web-based network management tool.
|
|
|
|
Designed for moderate to large networks, configuration information and
|
|
connection data for network devices are retrieved and set 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), Foundry Discovery Protocol (FDP), and
|
|
SynOptics Network Management Protocol (SONMP) optionally provide
|
|
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 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.
