Hello,
We use switchmap here for tracking port utilization, days inactive, and
devices connected. It uses SNMP to determine the information.

Subject: Documentation of switch maps
Howdy.
Had a customer come to me this morning who wanted to create a document for
their switching infrastructure and thought I would bounce it off the rest of
the world on how you usually do this. Typically I use a spreadsheet with
outlines to define the "switch" and then outlines for the ports and color
coding for vlan's as well as a description of the port. Curious what other
people are doing, as this would be a huge undertaking for a customer who is
using an entire /19 of rfc 1918 ip addresses and has well over 150 switches and
40 active vlans. The want to be able to look at this document and pull up any
switch and look at the port and be able to see what vlan the port is on, as
well as what device it is connected to as well as port channel membership,
trunks and other fun things like that. Needless to say their documentation is
lacking on the physical connectivity however their cisco infrastructure does
have labels on every port that goes to a named device outside of the DHCP
pools. Thoughts?
Thanks,
Blake Pfankuch
