* Package name : netdisco Version : 0.95 Upstream Author : Eric Miller, Bill Fenner and Max Baker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.netdisco.org/ * License : Perl/Artistic Programming Lang: Perl Description : Web-based network management tool NetDisco is 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), Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), 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 (such as 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. Netdisco was created at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), Networking and Technology Services (NTS) department. UCSC continues to support the development of Netdisco by providing development servers and financial support. The Netdisco project is hosted by Source Forge. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
