Hosts that are in promiscuous mode, like the Network Vantage probes, won't be found as easily as general servers/workstations, for which doing 1) broadcast ping 2) show arp 3) show mac-address-table
would generate a good map. Specially in some switch models that don't accept packets in ports that are destination of a "monitor session" traffic capture. But... I've never tested running CDP on such a switch to see if it can establish a CDP session.
