My Software,My Dream—Forge a more perfect NMS product.

ZSP-04-09

   Layer-2 discovery is very difficult in a environment without CDP or STP.
My final goal is my program can get a accurate result in any network.
ZSP is a good place to test my discovery program of the general algorithm
instead of CDP.
   The program of the general algorithm was wrote according to a paper,
that was proved to be correct in our company lan.However,it didn't work
at all in ZSP environment.The radical reason is the switch mac(bridge mac)
does not exist in fdb table of the other switch which is dircet connected
with it,so the algorithm lose its effectiveness.
   I modified the program,set the mac address of some designated interfaces to be
the symbol mac intead of the bridge mac.This time,program run a satisfactory
conclusion excluding those switches who were connected with hubs.
   As for the environment with hubs,I should study more.
