netdisco

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)

~/bin/netdisco-web start

Start the daemon

netdisco$ ~/bin/netdisco-backend start
