Re: Locating switches in a multi-layer switching environment

if you have access to a port with CDP enabled you can re-negotiate to  
trunk mode...

Hi,

There are many things about that. I thing that you could try to locate
port-socket based map from vendor's management software. Then, to create
supervisor VLAN on the core switch. Both this VLAN must be  responsible
for central management of the network and members of vlans IPs must be
routed to all vlan network. So you will able be surf on other VLANS.
