Thanks Jason,
I think wireshark will work when nothing else works out. But that would
be kind of hitting a nail with sludge hammer when you are talking about
80 servers spread across many switches. :-).. I have my fingers crossed
with this. Hope fully most of the boxes are wired correctly and I don't
have to chase too many of the connections.
Regards,
Sam
Due to the crossbow putback, it requires some modifications to some of
the kernel APIs to properly support it, so things are on hold at the
moment. It is unlikely to be backported, though it is possible a
userland daemon could be written that did a subset, but wouldn't
support everything as what is planned for opensolaris.
You can also in the meantime use something like wireshark if you just
want to passively observe port info from the servers.

Hi,
I am working on a data center build out where many servers connect to the
switch. Detecting any cabling glitches is a night mare because it requires
either physical trace or generate some traffic so that switch would learn
Mac address and then check where its learning the Mac.
Google search revealed that there was some discussion(in this distro) of
LLDP on solaris. Does anybody know the current state of LLDP on Open Solaris
and Solaris?
Thanks,
