GNHLUGers
I am looking for an information resource that discusses command line utilities and how
to use them to figure out network hierarchy, in the form of parent/child IP addresses.
I am hoping to be able to use these tools from inside a scripting language like Python.
In general I think the technique is:
ping all the possible address on the network in question.
For the responding devices do a traceroute, this tells you what devices cross
networks.
Use an SNMP tool to find out if the device is a managed switch or router,
if so, get more info.
I have found tools that do the whole thing for you but I am interested in the process
and how it works. If I can find the info I am looking for I will use it to learn
Python.
Thanks,
Jim McGlaughlin
