Link State History and Switch Port IP and MAC History

Jacob Ballanger

One of the major reasons why my organization keeps Netdisco around is its ability to show us the history of a switch port. No matter the state of the switch port, Netdisco will show the previous IP's associated and from there I can follow the device MAC to other network devices. It would be helpful if Akips had a similar feature. To my knowledge, Akips does not have this type of functionality. Switch port Mapper is a great tool albeit slow to show the history based on the history of a MAC or IP, but sometimes I only have a switch port for reference and need to know history from a port's perspective.

    Hi Jacob,

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    I've added it to the enhancement list for SPM. It will go through a review process to validate and we may come back to you or the community with additional questions. I don't have a timeline I can provide you at the moment.

    Cheers,

    Adam
