The purpose of these scripts is to provide a simple command line interface to gather LLDP announcements on wired ethernet connections to a managed switch that actively uses and supports the Link Layer Discovery Protocol.
Networking, Windows, Unix, Printers, and making stuff fit my needs in an
ever changing technological environment.
Please email me with thoughts, questions, or ideas!
These scripts are currently designed to work with Oregon State University, Information Services - Client Services - Service Desk, Community Network operations. They have been developed for internal departmental use, but can be used in other support departments or publicly as well. If something doesn't quite fit or you have feature requests, please feel free to email the developer. Please see the wiki for details on the scripts(work-in-progress).
The unix/Mac OS(X)(sw.sh, prereqs.sh) and Windows Powershell/batch scripts
(pre_func_lib.ps1, run-windump-for-lldp.ps1, switch-witch.ps1, wdts_func_lib.ps1,
run-me.bat) are covered by the GNU GPL v3. You are free to copy, redistribute,
or change them as much as you like. If you have suggested improvements, please send me an
email with your ideas!
The WinPcap and WinDump licenses are not GNU GLP v3. They are assigned, copied from the WinPcap organization website, and distributed with these scripts for their reference.
Do NOT open the Unix based scripts in Windows and expect the same file to operate
on a unix based device. The Windows new line carriage ending type will bork the
interpretation of the script.
If you find that it still doesn't run, please run dos2unix* on the file. If the
script still doesn't execute or run correctly, please feel free to email the developer.
dos2unixis conveniently installed via Homebrew in the prerequisite script for Mac devices. For Linux distributions, please see your distribution's installation instructions fordos2unix.
