We are looking for a replacement for a home grown nagios based solution

tools we have evaluated will do Layer 2 discovery based on specified

a "start" IP address or subnet ,and have it fully walk a Layer 2 and 3
network based on CDP results. Any comments or experience appreciated.
OpenNMS can do this:

It's available in OSS form, with commercial support available if needed
from the parent company.
