Is there not a MIB out there that contains/displays the contents of what's in the CDP neighbor table, and is this information not in the table itself... bridge/router/ip-phone/AP/etc.,,?

I thought there was a network-management tool out there somewhere that used the contents of the CDP table to help map-out the network or something like that using this technique.

I'm not a work, so I can't check, but the RFC1213 sysServices might show
if
the routing and/or bridging functionality is enabled:

I was thinking the same, but it doesn't seem very useful when trying
it out. All the units I looked at was either

"INTEGER: 6" (bridge and IP gateway) or
"INTEGER: 78" (bridge, IP gateway, IP host and application host).

Too bad Cisco says what the box *can* do instead of what it's actually
doing.

Maybe RFC1213 ipForwarding would work

         ipForwarding OBJECT-TYPE
             SYNTAX  INTEGER {
                         forwarding(1),    -- acting as a gateway
                         not-forwarding(2) -- NOT acting as a gateway
                     }

but I kind of doubt it. We just got some SUP32s in to replace CatOS SUP2s (pure L2 switches) & I haven't been able to figure out yet how to tell them _not_ to play router. Only the directly connected router can talk to the
sup32 if it's configured with a default gateway but no default route.
Seems to me that you should only need a default route on something that's acting as a router. (If it makes any difference, "no ip proxy-arp" is the standard here :) So my guess is that they're going to say they're acting
as a gateway even tho I don't want them to play router nor is there
anything L3 configured on them beyond the management vlan IP address and
syslog, tacacs, etc. server addresses.
