It doesn't look like Network Supervisor is free anymore (they only have a
downloadable 60 day evaluation version).

Question: does it work for all types of switches or only 3Com switches?

3Com's free version of their Network Supervisor will do this to the extent
that there is any intelligence built in to the intermediary switches. If
they are dumb hubs or switches, than all the downstream nodes will appear as
if they are immediately plugged into their nearest upstream smart switch.

Hope this helps,

Dan

Hi all,
I thought Cheops would do this, but it doesn't do as well as I thought. I
want to find out what computers are connected to which switches. I don't
care if it tells me what type of switch it is, but accurately tell me what
IP addresses are hanging off it. Is there a mapping software out there that
will discover this stuff?

Thanks!
