Mike, Since the Cisco phones do support CDP, and the new 'Switches' functionality finds and stores all CDP devices, perhaps there might be a way to query Intermapper to find all the 'matching device types' and then populate a monitoring probe. The user contributed Cisco switch probe builds a CDP device table, perhaps a scripting wizard can utilize that somehow.
I would love to have a map that dynamically updates based on either CDP or LLDP. Ideally we'd have the choice to stay within the confines of either an Ip range, hop count, or ignore both and populate the map strictly based on choice of L2 protocols and CDP reported device types, such as phones, APs, switches, etc. --- Thanks, Randy --- Sent from my iPhone On Jan 27, 2011, at 7:56 AM, "MDBeckett" <[email protected]> wrote: > > Salut Martin! > > Thanks for the idea.
