Port Mapping Tool >> Program Requirements Does it work with your switch? Required Operating System: Windows 7, Server 2008, Vista, XP, Server 2003 - 32 or 64 bit editions. You can use this on an Apple Mac if you use VMware Fusion or Parallels to host a supported operating system. (This software is a 32 bit program that operates equally well in either 32 bit or 64 bit operating systems) Network: IPv4 network access from your computer to the managed switches. Switch Network Access Requirements: The switch must have SNMP v1 or v2c activated - some switch manufacturers have SNMP disabled by default. You will need the SNMP read-only community name to access the switch (it is like a password) . You may need permissions set in the switch ACL for your IP address to access the switch if required by your switch administrator. For best results, two additional SNMP devices may be queried for their ARP tables**. **Obtaining IPv4 addresses: Managed switches usually operate at layer 2 which means they keep track of the MAC addresses attached to their ports and report the information in Bridge-Mib and/or qBridge-mib. The IP addresses are not kept in the switch's port forwarding tables. When we retrieve the data from the switch, we have to find the IP address that matches the list of device MAC addresses for each port. We do this by searching ARP tables from various devices. We provide two user defined methods of retrieving ARP tables from other SNMP enabled devices such as a server or router. Ping Sweep prefills your computer's local ARP table with local network segment IP/MAC addresses. |
