Hello,
I am a student and has been given a project to:
1. Pick a network, interrogate it on what elements(pcs, printers, hosts, hubs, switches, ports) it has and how they are connected
2. Store extracted information
3. Use that information to draw a diagram
Tool should be automatic and able to deal with a network of 10000s elements size.
What I want advise on is what method/technique/approach is best to use. All code has to be written by me. I have looked at RIP and SNMP protocols, ping & ipconfig. Apart from that not much. Please be so kind and point me in the direction I need to dig my head into.
Thank you very much.
