GetSwitchPorts

What is this?

This is a command line tool written in python to retrieve switch and port information from a Cisco or Nortel network switch. (limited support for 3Com switches as well). This tool uses SNMP to gather information

The tool will grab and display a switch's IP address, make, model, and hostname, and will gather the following for each port on the switch:

• Name (how the port identify's itself, example: Gi5/47 on Cisco, ifc204 on Nortel)
• Vlan (the native vlan / pvid on the interface. does not support trunk ports or multiple vlans)
• Description (the port description which the switch administrator applied to the port)

Features

• Has integrated manpage-like documentation. run the cli command 'GetSwitchPorts'
• Can retrieve info on all ports in a switch, or filter by description or by vlan
• Automatically identifies ethernet ports and excludes all else (vlan ports, pseudo-ports, etc)
• Shows progress while gathering port data (thanks to the excellent progressbar2 library)
