Hi all
I'm considering trying to come up with some means to automatically
detect a networks topology and draw pretty pictures. This is somewhat
boring though if a network isn't well arranged with VLANs and q-tag
trunk routers and so on (It will just look like a big cloud of junk
connected off an assumed switch).
Is there any kind of cunning trick to detect standard layer2 switches
along a path without stuff like STP?
