[nsp] Using router or switch to detect "other" switches.

[MacKinnon, Ian]

How about checking the mac addresses for ones that are non Cisco?
Eg from http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gorry/course/lan-pages/mac-vendor-codes.html

00000C  Cisco
00000E  Fujitsu
00000F  NeXT
000010  Sytek
00001D  Cabletron
000020  DIAB (Data Intdustrier AB)
