At the moment, we're setting the port descriptions on the router or switch itself. Then setting the port label in intermapper to be port number and interface alias. Seems to work well, especially if the aliases are small. For example, we have a building named "Braddon Hall". A switch there is labeled "Braddon_1", then each port is labeled with just the room number (such as "203"). This works out nicely. But when we have to label a port with a long name, it can start to overlap badly with other ports around it. I also label my uplinks and downlinks. but "Uplink to Braddon_2" or "Downlink to Braddon_4" gets long, but its typically only 1 or 2 ports per switch.

Is this something along the lines of what you'd want?

IM need a small and simple Element manager to see and maps ports on the switch or on the router. Life will be a lot simpler using that. Actually manage switches is almost impossible.
