Description : Netdisco is a network management application
targeted at large networks. Data is collected into a Postgres database
using SNMP and presented with a clean web interface.
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.
Layer-2 topology protocols such as
CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) 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 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.
