LD Port Report 1.13 quick update. The Mac Address Reporting Tool

Oct 012009

Quick update today! User Christianha, pointed out to me that the port_report tool was not matching any MAC address he passed. The reason for this is because he was passing the MAC address in uppercase. As per his suggestion, I fixed line 348 so that before it returns the mac, it willl make the MAC lower case. Then I just realized something…. I reverted line 348 back to way it was and changed line 676 instead..

It was if nmac == cmac:
Now it is re.search(nmac, cmac, re.IGNORECASE):

I felt this was the safer option..

Thank you Christianha for pointing the issues out..

We are happy to announce the release of Port Report 1.12. In this release, we can now follow CDP Neighbors while using the –report or -r options. Before when you used the –report option, the script will report on just that one switch. Now if you pass the –follow or -f option with the –report or -r option, port_report will follow the CDP neighbors and create multiple CSV files.
Release notes are below…. If you want to see an example of the Port Report output and how to run it, please check this link

Revision 1.12 09/18/09

The report option of the script can now follow cdp neighbors using the –follow option or -f.
When you run the command below it will create ONE CSV file per cdp neighbor it scanned.
I was able to scan from my core Switch down to the last neighbor in the line ( 44 Neighbors in just under 20 minutes. )
Which equaled to a little over 4K Mac Addresses
For instance…port_report.py -d 192.168.101.1 -c public -r -f
