Intro
Netdisco is an Open Source web-based network management tool.
Here are some of the favorite uses for this tool:
- Find a Switch Port from a MAC or IP address and the reverse.
- Administratively disable a Switch Port while leaving an audit trail.
(Required ReadWrite SNMP passwords to be configured)
- Quickly provide configuration information for network devices.
- Inventory your network hardware by model, vendor and IOS.
- Control your IP address space; know who uses what IP and when.
- Historical data: know what IP and MAC addresses
that are in use, and were in use on what ports.
- Pretty pictures of your network.

Things connected to the network are divided into two categories:
- Devices - Network appliances such as routers, switches, and hubs that
support SNMP. Each device has multiple interfaces (ports) and
can have IPs assigned to those interfaces.
- Nodes - Anything on the network that has a MAC address that isn't a device.
Printers, Computers, Servers, Devices for which we don't have SNMP access.
See the glossary for more details.
