LAN assets inventory
Oracle Database of network equipment, linked to property control, phone etc.
Much of network info gleaned automatically and entered into dB:
- connectivity from router ARP tables, from bridge/switch CAM tables, from CDP
- gives MAC level addresses etc
- create “model” of router/switch/hub & host connections
- MIBs in nodes provide make & model, S/N, swr/hdw rev level, port type, speed
Other info is entered manually:
- when host registered it gets property control number, IP address, owner, admin
- DNS entered into dB then automatically updates DNS tables
