CDP Client in Engineer's Toolset

jonkimsr

There doesn't seem to be a CDP client in Engineer's Toolset. Is this true?

Why not?

Neighbor Map utilizes CDP or LLDP to create a map of connections. MIB Scanner also has the CDP MIB in the list to select.

Switch Port Mapper is a light version of User Device Tracker where it talks to a switch and router to identify the IP, MAC, and Hostname of a connected device. This tool however does not utilize CDP like the User Device Trackers does for connections.

All I am trying to do is to pick up switch and port information. It just felt silly for Engineer's Toolset to not have that. So I assume, it does not have simple CDP client?

Hi Jonathan,

like mentioned by Sean, Switch Port Mapper is the tool to get port details from switches. Is there some information missing please?

Thanks

Peter

I just need a simple CDP client on my laptop to trace cable. I used to have linkrunner that gave me dns name of the switch and port I was connected just by plugging any cable on the switch. Tracing cable is royal pain.. For the cost of Engineer's Toolset.. I was just hoping.. because I just can't see any reason why it wouldn't have that tool. It doesn't.
