[Netdisco] 802.1x/Phones/etc

[Ian H. <ia...@ia...>]

Hi folks,

I'm setting up Netdisco to assist our primarily Windows-based frontline IT 
staff debug problems directly, without the steep learning curve of CLI 
access. Our network consists mostly of Windows XP and 7 clients, Cisco 
switches, Cisco APs, Cisco phones. I've got a handful of newbie questions:

1. Has anybody done any work integrating data from 802.1x logins into 
Netdisco's Node database? I'd love to be able to search based on username 
to find a switchport. I can already stuff the data into a database from 
RADIUS, or is there a way to find this out via SNMP?

2. NetBIOS username lookups only seem to work when people are remote 
desktopped into a machine. Is there a way to make this work? Or would it 
be easier to make that query via WMI?

3. Is there a way to find phone extentions out of Cisco handsets or Call 
Manager to be added to searches/reports?

4. The root discovery process tries to query every phone via SNMP. I added 
our phone subnets to discover_no, but then the PC behind the phone isn't 
added to the database. Is this a bug, or is there a way to make it work?

5. Is there any work being done/patches released for the Cisco wireless 
LAN controller replicating the data available from autonomous access 
points?

I'm running 1.1-cvs on Ubuntu 10.04.

Thanks all,



- I.
