I am a student and I want to take the LanMap of the entire Building. There are at least 10 switch boxes with 2 in each floor on a 5 storied building. Each Switch Box contains 2 Switches with 24/48 ports. At least 4 racks are used with the switches for assorting the cables. There are Lan Ports setup at various classrooms connected to the rack and then to the switches.
Right now, I am using a LanTester. I connect one LanTester to the LanPort in the class and one to the Rack. When the 2 light turns ON on the device I map the corresponding wiring. Due to the lack of any reference on the Wiring, the task is seeming very hectic. Wiring is all masked to the wall. Some of the LAN Ports are system connected and some are not.
I am really new at this, as you would know by now. Is there any better way of doing it?
Hi Augustus, I removed the parts of your question asking for software, as asking outright for programs will get this closed as off topic. Hopefully, this attracts some more people to give input though – Canadian Luke – 2014-02-12T20:41:42.700
