RE: Network Mapping/Discovery

3Com's free version of their Network Supervisor will do this to the extent
that there is any intelligence built in to the intermediary switches. If
they are dumb hubs or switches, than all the downstream nodes will appear as
if they are immediately plugged into their nearest upstream smart switch.

Hope this helps,

Dan

Hi all,
I thought Cheops would do this, but it doesn't do as well as I thought.
I want to find out what computers are connected to which switches.  I
don't care if it tells me what type of switch it is, but accurately tell
me what IP addresses are hanging off it.  Is there a mapping software
out there that will discover this stuff?

Thanks!
