Re: Network management jack to port software inventory

[gaby Hoffmann <gaby.hoffmann () ANU EDU AU>]

http://www.netdisco.org is free software that gives you a database of
switchport, MAC address and IP number listings of connected
machines. No jack or room info though, but great if you
need to find out quickly, on which switchport a malicious machine was
yesterday night. It also lets you disable the port at the click of a mouse
via snmp write.

Cheers.
