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

[Buhrmaster, Gary]

While it is not perfect (nothing is), if your
"central" switches are managed/manageable, one 
can look for end user ports with multiple mac 
address associations (using regular SNMP 
polling), and then go out and discuss with the 
user your preferred implementation of 
additional ports.
