For us it's mainly to assist with troubleshooting and auditing. It's a large government environment with what seems like almost constant office relocations. The network operations folks are in a different city to us design/planning guys. We use third party "hands and feet" to perform relocations and sometimes it's just too hard to figure out which of the (3) network interfaces in the probes are connected to which switch port - sometimes port descriptions aren't accurate and MAC information is not at hand. Having the probe (or any host) spew out CDP advertisements eases the headache when you're troubleshooting something remotely at 2 o'clock in the morning :-) > Chris Serafin cheers, Dale _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
