## Description
 | 
						|
Netdisco is a web-based network management tool designed for network
 | 
						|
administrators. Data is collected into a PostgreSQL database using SNMP.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Some of the things you can do with Netdisco:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Locate a machine on the network by MAC or IP and show the switch port it lives at
 | 
						|
* Turn off a switch port, or change the VLAN or PoE status of a port
 | 
						|
* Inventory your network hardware by model, vendor, software and operating system
 | 
						|
* Pretty pictures of your network
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
App::Netdisco provides a web frontend with built-in web server, and a backend
 | 
						|
daemon to gather information from your network, and handle interactive
 | 
						|
requests such as changing port or device properties.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Startup
 | 
						|
Start the web-app server (accessible on port 5000)
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
~/bin/netdisco-web start
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
Start the daemon
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
netdisco$ ~/bin/netdisco-backend start
 | 
						|
```
