For port scanning? namp, http://www.insecure.org You might scan for open telnet/ssh Ports and for the operating system. This might not detect devices with access lists to protect telent/ssh. In the end you have to use different tools to do a complete documentation of your network. CDP is the first step, finding open telnet/ssh ports and checking routing tables are next. If nothing else is working you might have to get your hands dirty and follow those cables. > How about CiscoWorks? Well some people claim that it is a great tool an can do all those nice things like detecting buggy IOS version. Problem is that I haven't seen a completely working CW installation so far. It's big, it's slow and it seems that I'm to stupid to set it up correctly. Take a look a NEDI (http://www.nedi.ch) it free and it seems to work. cheers Jens -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Berlin: http://www.guug.de/lokal/berlin/index.html http://www.openbc.com/go/invita/4269460 _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
