For tracking down misbehaving/chatty devices on a network, I've found Neo (www.ktools.org) to be very useful. It can extract info and statistics from managed network devices, as well as disable ports or change settings on certain models. Some useful Neo commands: Show traffic rates on all ports: neo stats @[ switch-ip-address ] Show all MAC addresses on a particular port: neo port search [ portnumber ]@[ switch-ip-address ] Disable a port*: neo port disable [ portnumber ]@[ switch-ip-address ] * Only works after you have set the 'writecom' variable to match your switch's SNMP write community.
