Alex,

Check SwitchInspector (www.switchinspector.com) from Netxar Technologies. With the tool you can report all the devices connected to a Cisco switch. You dont need to trace cables anymore ;- Good Luck.

Hi Venkat,

Thanks for the recommendation ;-) I had tried it but I still prefer SwitchInspector. SwithcInspector is very user friendly and straight forward, and it more oriented as an invidual IT person tool vs a centralized/server oriented approach. In our company the 50 consultants all have the tool and the feedback from them using the tool in real big enterprise envrioments is excellent. For example, we can quickly go to a client, check their existing VLAN, user confirguration, make the necessary changes and run the tool again to verify again. Very helpful for us consultants ;-)

Take care buddy. -Frank
