Any network discovery tool that supports CLI/CDP?

May popular network discovery tools out there (such as WhatsUp Gold, Solarwind) are based on SNMP.  Even though they claim to support SSH/Telnet, but they didn't seem to work the way I thought.
What I'm expecting is a software that mimic the way a human being do on discovering a swtich network:
1) Get to the CLI of the 'seed' switch
2) Do a "show cdp neighbor detail"
3) Look at the entries that have IP address
4) Telnet/SSH to that IP and repeat step 1-3 above
Ideally, the software can cycle through a credential list in case different credentials are needed on different devices.
The closest I can found is "NetBrain".  But it seems to be an overkill for light use.  I could have written some VB Scripts along with SecureCRT to achieve this.  But want to check before reinventing the wheel.
Thank you!

I think that all the relevant information from CDP/MAC/ARP etc. is available through SNMP, so there is no need to control a login-session and invest much brain in parsing the output. Especially if you think about that the outout could be different after an image-upgrade.
Beside of that, a good tool that also uses CDP for discovery is Netdot, or if I understand it right, the underlying software netdisco.

  • Is there any network out there that you can buy a data sim card only for a tablet that you can payg and not a mothly contract

    I use my iPad at home with wifi for about 98%of the time the other 2% I need to use 3G sim which is not a problem the problem is I cannot find any network that I can buy a payg SIM card unless I renew every 30 days that's £120 a year to use my iPad the amount of times I use it without wifi is so small 2 gb would last me a full year as anybody got any suggestions?

    A G5 can run the OS it shipped with up to Leopard if your CPU is big enough (should be being a G5).
    For now, You could try this;
    Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
    What is Safe BootSafe Mode takes awhile to start, so patience is a virtue here! It may get you going.
    Also, it would help to know what your G5 is doing exactly .

  • Are there any self-service tools that enable business users to insert, update, and delete data in SQL Server without using SSMS?

    Our IT department spends way too much time maintaining simple reference tables that could easily be maintained by business users, if they had some simple tools that gave them limited access to only the tables they need.  Looking for something other
    than SSMS or MS Access.  These are not tech-savvy users.  They dabble in Excel and Access, and they know their data pretty well, but wouldn't be comfortable with SQL.  Generally the data would initially be in Excel (but not always).

    Create a separate FileGroup on your UAT/pre-prod environment for those Business Users and allocate limited space for them to read/write data here. I expect they create their own reference tables here which are small enough in size. SQL Server does not have
    concept of Quota like Oracle has, so you need to tie back FG with Data Steward user groups using separate mechanism to make sure they have limited rights here. 
    As IT - you verify business changes every sprint and push them to Production.

  • Downgraded A1240 Access point to IOS that support CLI command

    I have a new A1240 and it IOS is working with new command LWAPP and need a control server to manage the access point. It (ios) does not have configure terminal command. I think I can delete the IOS in the flash and load a older version IOS. I went ahead and deleted the IOS and assumed the access point will go to rommon mode and allows me to archive a tar file (older ios) into the access point. However, I only get AP: prompt and stuck here. I can not run copy or archive command. What are recover process. Need your expert guidance. Au Ray Singapore

    Hi Au Ray,
    Have you tried this method?
    Using the MODE button
    You can use the MODE button on 1100 and 1200 series access points to reload the access point image file from an active Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server on your network or on a PC connected to the access point Ethernet port.
    This process resets all configuration settings to factory defaults, including passwords, WEP keys, the access point IP address, and SSIDs.
    Follow these steps to reload the access point image file:
    Step 1 The PC you intend to use must be configured with a static IP address in the range of 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.30.
    Step 2 Make sure that the PC contains the access point image file (such as c1100-k9w7-tar.122-13.JA.tar for an 1100 series access point or c1200-k9w7-tar.122-13.JA.tar for a 1200 series access point) in the TFTP server folder and that the TFTP server is activated. For additional information, refer to the "Obtaining the Access Point Image File" and "Obtaining TFTP Server Software" sections.
    Step 3 Rename the access point image file in the TFTP server folder to c1100-k9w7-tar.default for an 1100 series access point or c1200-k9w7-tar.default for a 1200 series access point.
    Step 4 Connect the PC to the access point using a Category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet cable.
    Step 5 Disconnect power (the power jack for external power or the Ethernet cable for in-line power) from the access point.
    Step 6 Press and hold the MODE button while you reconnect power to the access point.
    Step 7 Hold the MODE button until the status LED turns red (approximately 20 to 30 seconds), and release the MODE button.
    Step 8 Wait until the access point reboots as indicated by all LEDs turning green followed by the Status LED blinking green.
    Step 9 After the access point reboots, you must reconfigure the access point by using the Web-browser interface or the CLI.

  • Are there any portable e. readers that support Mac software???

    Does anyone know of any portable readers that work w/ Mac? For example, Sony makes a fantastic one but it only supports Windows! Open to any suggestions...thanks!!

    There are many "readers" as you call them for different file formats listed on Versiontracker.
    One included with some Macs, which you can download is Zinio's:

    If you are talking about reading software for the blind, Mac OS X has built-in software in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Universal Access for Text to Speech.

  • Any GPUs for Windows that support both CUDA and Open CL?

    Hi everyone,
    I was looking at this list:  http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/tech-specs.html
    while trying to decide which graphics card to buy to take advantage of Mercury playback.  I couldn't help but notice that there is not a single card listed that is compatible for both CUDA and Open CL in windows.  Do I really have to pick one or the other?  In that case, which would be more beneficial to a Premiere Pro workflow that utilizes a lot of dynamic links to After Effects?  As a side note, I use Photoshop a ton, and would love to keep my GPU acceleration in that arena as well.
    Thanks!
    -Charlie

    I believe they write OpenCL separately.  They're two different APIs.
    They are not that different, while 'porting' doesn't imply completely automatic process. Rewriting existing libraries from one language to another is something almost any developer is familiar with.
    I'm not sure I understand the point you're trying to make here.  Right now, you cannot use OpenCL processing with an nVidia card on Windows.
    The point is simple: both CUDA and OpenCL are supported by NVIDIA cards. The fact that Adobe engineers haven't ported libraries for GPU acceleration in MPE on Windows from CUDA to OpenCL so far doesn't mean they never will. Hence the statement that a user-side choice between AMD and NVIDIA equals to choice between OpenCL and CUDA is incorrect.

  • Difficulty obtaining open DNS IP using any network config tool.

    Hey everyone...  I've searched the thread archives and haven't found a solution to this yet...
    I'm having a hard time connecting to any of my school networks. One is a guest network, one is a wpa2 encrypted network.
    Using nmcli to connect (after creating the profile) I get the following error:

  • Same issue Network Discovery not working and Windows Update not working

    I've read the threads. 
    This is a Vista Ultimate upgrade. My OOOOH My I have clocked 8 hours
    Everything was working before. I tried all of the recommended  services turning on restarting.
    Also, ran into the problem of my memory being eaten. Suspected cause hibernate mode, which I had to disable. Scott Hasselman blog recommended the fix which is a cheap work around that limits machines functionality!!
    I'm and IT Engineer specializing in MS product lines since Windows 1.0. MFC foundation classes etc.. What is the real problem ?
    I don't have the NetBIOS over tcp/ip in my services?
    I figure that the cost of my time and other individuals pays for the OS four times over. Give me a Microsoft developer subscription or something to make me happy. This is my development machine and I'm loosing time and money.
    FYI, Just upgraded my second machine to Windows 8.1 OMG !!2 Hours to upgrade after the download. I loose my configuration settings. I required to have a Windows Live whatever account!!! This is not the way to compete and keep customers.
    Windows XP has been by far the best deployment experience. I need a Knowledge base that gives solutions , not a troubleshooting scenario that does or does not work!!
    Please , don't tell me to go and by a OEM Surface I cannot recommend this to my clients. 
    Thank You

    Hi,
    If it worked previously, a quick solution is to run System Restore and get back to the previous status when the issue didn’t occur.
    What is System Restore?
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/What-is-System-Restore
    When you turn on network discovery, do you get any error prompt?
    Please check if you have any error message about network discovery in event viewer.
    Open Event Viewer
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-Event-Viewer
    What information appears in event logs (Event Viewer)?
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/What-information-appears-in-event-logs-Event-Viewer
    Please use Windows Live SkyDrive (http://www.skydrive.live.com/) to upload the Error logs to a public folder and share the URLs with us.
    Also, please temporarily turn off your firewall and all the security programs for a test.
    As far as I know, Network discovery requires that the DNS Client, DNS Client, Network Connections, Network Location Awareness,  Remote Procedure Call (RPC), Function Discovery
    Resource Publication, TCP/IP Netbios helper, SSDP Discovery, and UPnP Device Host services are started and set to automatic.
    You should check again if you have started all these services.
    Regarding the update issue, I suggest you try the following suggestions.
    1. Temporarily disable firewall and antivirus program to test the issue.
    2. Open the Windows Update troubleshooter
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Windows-Update-troubleshooter
    3. Reset Windows Update components

  • Network Management tool

    I am looking for a network monitoring tool that will provide me bandwidth analysis (incoming and outgoing traffic), latency, availability and anythign else that could be useful to understand how the network is doing.  I know that there are a lot of costly tools out there but there are also free ones, that is what I am looking for.  A tool that is easy to install, manage and use.
    Any recommendations?

    installation of Cacti itself is pretty easy on my opinion, on my personal experience other supportive applications was a little bit difficult since I am not expert on those area. if you have some experience or some one else able to help you with installation of (apache,mysql,php) you can accomplished your goal easily. also you can get help from cacti user forum. I am used this document as base of my installation and tweak a little bit based on my need.
    once you installed cacti is very easy to manage and power full. currently I am using cacti to monitor more than 6000 interfaces from 200 different locations. if you have question down the road with installation, I will try my best to help you.

  • Mock RFP for SUN network management tool, desperate 4 help, just need specs

    OK, I have a project that in essence is a mock Request for Proposal (RFP), I play as an intern, & our instructor roleplays the manager we need to convince. The different network management tools that were available were for example; HP Openview, Cisco Works, Sniffer....& I of course chose SunNet. We need to gather information on the tool, then turn around & design a relatively simple network from the specs that were given, & finally discuss how the management tool's abilities could benefit the (mock) company...power point presentation & all.
    Here it is from the homework sheet given to us...."These products will need to be useful in a 5000 node network that has four main locations that are primarily Ethernet. There is a legacy 100 nodes of Token Ring attached to a mainframe. Cisco or Foundry routers connect the Four main locations, with swiches employed. Other connections to these sites are done via DSL or ISDN. Additional considerations are wireless communications, VOIP & Content delivery systems.
    I know this is a lot & I'm not asking for someone to do all this for me, just simply provide any information you know about Enterprise management tools 2.0 or 3.0,or anything you may feel better suits my needs, as the links I have surfed about them give little to nothing about specifics that I need to make any argument. If you have any links send them...if you have anyting in hard copy I will pay for postage... I need to get this done & have little time as I go to school & work full time at Motorola (but only as a contractor), so I'm starting to choke & need help....any u can give is so very appreciated....& sorry to make this request a publishable novel here on the board, but thats what it is. Thanks again......Mark

    A good solution. Liked it very much. Can you please make it a technet blog for others.

  • WIndows 7 and Server2008 machines will not remember network discovery preferences, requires setting every start up or wake up.

    hello
    I wondered if anybody here could be so kind as to help me solve this situation
    i have two Windows 7 machines and Server2008 machines will not remember network discovery preferences,
    i am running software on the windows server machine that collects data and serves information to two windows 7 machines, and network discovery is required for this purpose
    these machines are configured in a local stand alone network configured as a workgroup the only other items on network are none PC based equipment that the server happily communicates with and reads data from
    once the network discovery is set for the network the system runs as expected but on every start-up (or wake up) the network discovery is lost and need to be re allowed. this is the case in both windows server 20008 r2 and windows 7
    how do i make these preferences permanent. so that it will restart and re establish communication its self without intervention
    am i missing a setting or if not  is there a way i can script the the selection of preference on each start(/wake)up.
    the final user need to be able to turn system on/restart and use it with out having to have any IT/networking knowledge to get system running.
    thank you for taking the time to read my query

    You can use group policy to enable network discovery so that it is always configured
    1. In the Group Policy editor on a Win7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 computer, open the GPO that you want
    to use in the Group Policy Editor.
    2. Expand "Computer Configuration", "Windows Settings", "Security Settings", "Windows Firewall with Advanced
    Security", and then "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security - {policy you have open}".
    3 Right-click "Inbound Rules", and then click "New Rule".
    4 In the Rule Wizard, on the Rule Type page, select"Predefined", and then select Network Discovery from
    the list.  Click Next.
    5 On the Predefined Rules page, ensure that the check box is on each rule that is part of the Network
    Discovery group, and then click Next.
    6 On the Action page, select "Allow the Connection", and then click Finish.
