Thanks Phil, To see this: http://www.somix.com/img/screenshots/webnm_portadmin.gif It is integrated with WhatsUp Gold for those who want to see a live demonstration, please call me.
Decide for yourself how it compares to Solarwinds.net. Below is a screen shot from the updated tool in WebNM v4.0 being released on Jan 1st. http://www.somix.com/img/screenshots/find_mac.jpg Sincerely, Michael Patterson (207)324-8805 x222 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Philip R. Morneault Sent: Monday, December 08, 2003 10:08 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [WhatsUp Forum] Map Switch MAC Table Within WebNM there is a tool called port mapper, really neat, it displays all the MACs knowned by a switch port. If you used the other portions of WebNM it gets even more powerful. If you use OStivity, their desktop/server inventory app when a MAC is known on a port it displays the PC host name. You can click on the hostname and it brings you to the info screen of that PC and lets you find out everything about the pc including its IP address and who is logged in on it. To take it a step futher, their syslog server, Logalot when it receives messages from a switch with an error on a specific port it creates a link that will take you to the OStivity info page on the PC attached to that port. Very helpful in tracking down problematic PC/users. ~ Phil "Kevin F.
