Introduction
Transcend Network STP tools Details
the aim of this project is to produce a tool that can assist network engineers in the audit and troubleshooting of spanning tree issues within a cisco environment.
Best Practice Audit
tool will visually map a network using SNMP, ICMP, SSH and telnet and present a map showing the root bridges for each vlan. Once the tool has mapped the network, and your root bridges have been identified, any changes will be immediately noticeable on the map.
Tool will attempt to find the middle of the network and then make recommendations based on the current topology
check running config for portfast bpdu guard bpdu-filter iplinkfast
once the network map has been drawn then spanning tree configuration will be displayed, helping engineers to highlight missing config.
Simulator
Once the tool has discoved the network, engineers will be able to use the tool to simulate the movement of the root bridge and the changes in topology that is caused when the root bridge is moved.
