The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: SNMP::BridgeQuery
DSLIP: bdpfp
description: Query bridge/switch for forwarding database
userid: JSHEARER (John D. Shearer)
chapterid: 5 (Networking_Devices_IPC)

similar:
rationale:
This module uses Net::SNMP to poll bridges or managable switches
for their forwarding database. SNMP::BridgeQuery returns a hash
reference of MAC addresses and port indexes. By combiming this
module with a web interface, it has proved very useful in tracking
down the physical location of computers (by using the MAC address
retrieved from DHCP).
Other modules support SNMP, but this module is specific in its
approach to give 'simple' and useful information without the digging
which is typical.
