This section describes Switch Port Management, a feature set that provides network administrators with a global view of the enterprise switched Ethernet network, while also enabling drilling down to individual interfaces and endpoint devices. This section includes the following chapters:

Switch Port Management also relies on Discovery functionality to acquire a complete inventory of the L2/L3-switched enterprise network. The following chapter provides a complete discussion of how to use Network Discovery:
