[c-nsp] OT: network inventory

[Mike Louis]

You can use a tool from the cisco partner site called Cisco Network Discovery Tool. It will categorize every modules in IOS/CatOS devices and output them to excel spreadsheets. It lists all EOL hardware and Software as well as serial numbers and such per device and module. Its great for smartnet renewals and tracking. You have to be a partner to use it though but it works well. I use it all the time. It also lists what IOS have PSIRT etc and provides links to the cisco PSIRT site.

So far all of the software that's been presented will autodiscover devices
and backup configs and such.  Is there anything around that will actually
take inventory of a router.  By inventory I mean, list of cards, model
numbers, serial numbers, pluggable optics, etc.  I've been working on
scripts to do this and it's become alot more complicated than I had
originally planned.  If there's already some software out there that does
this, I'd love to get my hands on it.
