How can I find out which port on the switch a particular server is connected to? I was hoping that this is somehow possible using the mac address and the data gathered from snmpwalk/snmpget requests

I'm not having much luck. How would you tackle this problem?

Take a look at Netdisco. I seem to remember it's a little tricky to set up on CentOS but I wouldn't live without it now.

Hi List,

Well after following the "little tricky" :D install scripts on this address: http://www.auburn.edu/~gouldwp/netdisco/

I had this error: "failed to resolve handler `netdisco::Mason': Can't locate netdisco/Mason.pm in @INC" on my httpd error_log file. Anyone had sucess on made netdisco running ? My problem (apparently) was only on the WebCli. And after I had the work to put it all together I was hopping I can see their face :D

On the other hand, I will try OpenNMS and ZenoOS ASAP :D

As long as we have gone this far on the generic sys/net admin tools topic... Has anyone used racktables or found a better free web visual layout program? I'd like to find something that could somehow coordinate with info from ocsinventory-ng and opennms or at least have a way to sanity-check across the databases.
