Product recommendation
hey guys,
I am looking for an application and I need some help.
What I am looking for is the ability to enter in an IP address and find out what switch and what port it's connected to.
I am finding that I can easily look up a MAC address but not an IP.
Thank you so much in advance.

partial IP -> DNS name resolution
I'm currently trying out the 14-day trial of Switch Port Mapper and I'm running into incomplete name / ip resolution issues.
How is SPM doing the DNS lookup?
Does it only query the servers primary DNS, or does it walk the list?
Does it check to make sure the mac or ip are available before lookup?
I see instances of failed lookup's that are either;
ip no longer pingable, still in arp & dns, but SPM not resolving
ip is pingable, still in arp & dns, but SPM not resolving
I thought perhaps our HSRP/GLBP dual router envrionment was a problem, but i'm seeing this in single router environments as well.

Switch Port Mapper and Orion NPM
Hello Everyone,
I've done some searching on how to integrate Switch Port Mapper and Orion NPM, but so far everything I've read says you have to have the entire Engineering Toolset. Well, considering that I have NPM and that most of what is in the Toolset is done by NPM one way or another, I would like to purchase Switch Port Mapper separately. If I do that, can I still do the integration?
Thanks,
Matt

Port Map - has to be a better way...
Objective -
Publish available switch ports in Sharepoint for easy reference!
task to meet objective:
1. Run switch port mapper against EVERY switch
Map Layer3 to core arp table
2. Export results to excel
3. Add switch name and location to excel and save as xls.
4. Create Report in NPM with IP, Servername and machine type
5. Save report to excel
6. Import ALL switch spreadsheets to Access
7. Import NPM report to Access
8. Create Make Table Query in access and join on IP address on two tables (PortMap table and servername report table)
9. Export new table with all the joined data to Sharepoint list
10. Create new view in Sharepoint..
11. Grab Beer and a smoke!!! whew.. There has to be a better way.. I'm open to suggestions..
Here is the end result:
Default view; Grouped by Switch name and if operational status, collapsed.
*ifOper Down is operational status Down and it is assumed the switch port is available to be used.
Expanded view:
I have not come up with a solution to automate this, yet! So in order to keep this updated, the entire process needs to be run through again.

Switch Port Mapper
when using Switch port mapper I noticed that some of my switch interfaces are showing a 1/2/2015 as the "Last Status Change". Does anyone know why I am seeing a 2015 date, and how I can fix this? I have looked at the settings, and just cant seem to find where this date is coming from.

Excel Export Not Showing Operational Status
Hello all,
Does anyone know the reason why within Switchport Mapper when you select export to Excel Spreadsheet or Directly to Excel Spreadsheet that is does not export the Operational Status Column even is check in the boxes?
It will work if you do the CSV format?
Thanks

port listing sequence
I've got one Cisco 6509 out of fourteen that doesn't list ports in order by blade. This particular switch lists blade #1 last instead of first. I've checked the port mapper settings and several switch's SNMP configuration to see where I can affect the order but come up short. Tried reaching for straws: generating the report without the interface index column, target vlan addresses instead of loopback, changing the snmp source address.
The tool has always listed ports on chassis switches in blade order but not this time. I'm stumpedHow it the sequence determined?

Monitoring Brocade Switch Health using Solarwinds Orion NPM
Hi,
I have 2 Brocade Switches, model 5100
Appl Primary/Secondary Versions
------------------------------------------
FOS v6.4.0b
v6.4.0b
I want to monitor their health using the Solarwinds NPM.
The default poller is not helping much and I guess I need to create a custom poller.
I am not an expert on Orion, so Are there any ready pollers available, which I can import and use
I would like to monitor,
1. Port Errors
2, Port Statistics
3. Switch Health(all the Physical components)
Thanks and Regards,

Is there a way to update or add to the Manufacturer name?
I have been running this report as I am in the process of a Cisco switch refresh but I am finding that I am receiving a lot of "Unknown" manufacturer but I can take the mac and drop it into the OUI search at WireShark and it returns the proper name. I use this information to determine the users that need to be informed prior to performing the network closet refresh. Thanks in advance!

Any reliable way to map Cisco Switch Ports and Vlans?
I have a small herd of cisco 6509's that we need to map out the ports on. We have have a pretty full set of Solarwinds stuff- Orion, NCM, SAM, NPM, IPAM, NTA, and Engineers Toolkit.
Problem is that nothing completely and accurately maps them out!.
Started with Switch Port Mapper - which has a problem skipping ports, skipping vlans assigned to ports, and in a few spots incorrectly reporting the vlan on a port. Opened a ticket - was told "its a Cisco problem".. yet I can browse the MIB and see the information there.. plus used the command line tool, captured the output, and I can see it coming over.
So then I tried NCM. While it correctly maps vlans to ports, but it too has a nasty habit of skipping ports. And the reporting tool will not report on ports that are down.... even though that's not a condition of the report.
Kind of frustrated at how complex this has become - we have lots of tools, but nothing seems to be able to accurately complete what I think would be a basic question (give me a report of all the ports on this switch and what the vlans are assigned to them).
So I'm looking at taking these reports, and then having to manually verify each and every port (we have 9 fairly fully populated 6509 switches).
I'd like to be doing something else for the next 4 weeks.
Anyone gotten this to work?
Thanks,
Don

SNMP v3 in Switch Port Mapper
Hi - I can't seem to find a way in Switch Port Mapper to set it for SNMP v3. The only options I see for an 'existing credential' are SNMP v1/2c.
Thanks for any help.
