Hi Barn,
Is anyone aware of a tool or set of tools that could help me
accomplish this without having to do extensive text manipulation and
shell scripting? In other words, has anyone come across anything that
has similar functionality to Kiwi Cat Tools and it's sw-port and arp
reporting functionality, with the exception that it can be run on Unix
from a shell?
Since you're lucky enough to work in an all-cisco environment,
netdisco (http://www.netdisco.org/) would probably be very easy to set
up to do this...
"""
Netdisco is an Open Source web-based network management tool.
Designed for moderate to large networks, configuration information and
connection data for network devices are retrieved by SNMP. With
Netdisco you can locate the switch port of an end-user system by IP or
MAC address. Data is stored using a SQL database for scalability and
speed.
"""
IIRC, the web-interface is definitely easier to use, but the scripts
are made to be CLI-usable as well...
Good luck,
~Aaron
