Version 2.09 was released on May 17, 2013. Version 2.x is a major release with many user requested additions. The new features are listed on the right in the slideshow.

Now also available as a portable USB Flash Drive Application - no installation required on the host computer system.


Do you have a rack of ethernet network switches with cables leading to who knows where?

Do you need to discover and identify the network devices attached to your switches?

We can help! Our Managed Switch Port Mapping Tool can discover and show you the MAC addresses and IPv4 addresses of devices attached to the physical ports of your switches. Supply the access credentials for each switch and map them manually or as a list of switches.

Do you need a single app to map port usage on several different brands of switches?

The Managed Switch Port Mapping Tool can map SNMP managed switches from many manufacturers.

Other Switch Port Mappers usually map one manufacturer's switches - and most often only Cisco - and they have problems mapping other brands.

Examples of supported brands**: Cisco (IOS and Nexus), Hewlett Packard, SMC, Dell, 3-com, D-Link, inksys, Nortel, Enterasys Cabletron and others.

**not all switches can be mapped due to differences in SNMP firmware support and hardware versions.

Version 2 Slideshow

New in Version 2:
Switch Lists - map a set of switches and save their results to the History Database.
History Database - all switch mappings are automatically saved here. Searchable. Review a mapping later.
SNMPv3 - supports USM style SNMPv3 requests.
Command Line - run the app from the command line using various options. Use Windows Task Scheduler to map a switch or switch list when you need it mapped.
New Columns - 16 new columns supporting RMON and Cisco packet related counters including overruns etc.
LLDP and CDP are now reported. Use them to see devices like other switches and routers directly connected to a switch port. Often shows the attached device's corresponding port too.
Faster - supports SNMP v2c/v3 Bulk Transfer mode to reduce required SNMP bandwidth.
Import ARP tables from text files. Use this for networks where IP/MAC address pairings are known.
Updated User Interface - has the Windows 8/Office 2013 look and feel using skins. Change the appearance of the program to other styles.

Product Information

The Managed Switch Port Mapping tool communicates with managed Ethernet network switches using SNMPv1/v2c/v3 and discovers the MAC and IP addresses of devices attached to the physical port jacks on the front of the switches. The software is intended for use on Microsoft Windows® operating systems and can be also used on Apple MAC OSX if you use Windows inside a virtual machine like VMware Fusion or Parallels.

No switch is too big or too small, but it must be capable of being 'managed' using SNMP (simple network management protocol) and it must support Bridge MIB. We have customers using this tool on switches as small as the Cisco SF 300-08 series all the way up to core switches like the Cisco 6500 series.

All you have to do is enter the switch IPv4 address and the SNMP v1/v2c/v3 read-only credentials. Then press Map Switch. We do the rest. Watch one of the videos to see it in action.

Results are presented in a spreadsheet-like grid. You can print the results or export the results to your favorite spreadsheet program as either tab-delimited text or as XML.
