Discovery Tools.

Hi Folks,

realise that this forum might not be the exact match for this question, so feel free to put it somewhere more apropriate.

I'm currently involved in a project that has gone somewhat pear shaped, just to keep this all short the situation is as follows. I was brought in to manage a migration project, now I'm running the Unix estate - without any local knowledge to fall back on. I have sufficient unix knowledge and can call on windows resource if required, but do have to work within some constraints relating to security.

So the help I'm looking for is a pointer to a discovery tool that will allow me to carry out a full network discovery, on what's up on the network and what it's got open. Any assistance would be appreciated, especially when it comes to tools that will give me an output that I can present to the users - for this crowd "Pictures would be good"!

Regards

Dave

define_cached_server

define cached server(1m)												  define cached server(1m)

NAME

       define cached server - Creates knowledge of a server in the local clerk's cache

SYNOPSIS

       cdscp define cached server name tower value

ARGUMENTS

       A  simple  name	for the cached server.	The protocol sequence and network address of the server node. The format is protocol-sequence:net-
       work-address.  A protocol-sequence is a character string identifying the network protocols used	to  establish  a  relationship	between  a
       client  and  server.   There  are  two  choices	of  protocol  sequence,  depending on the network address that is supplied in the binding:
       ncacn_ip_tcp or ncadg_ip_udp.  For the network-address, specify an Internet address using the common Internet address notation.	 For  more
       information about this format, see the RPC introduction in the DCE Application Development Reference.

DESCRIPTION

       The define cached server command creates knowledge of a server in the local clerk's cache.  This command is typically used to manually pro-
       vide configuration information to a clerk that cannot automatically configure itself.  This is required, for instance, to  give	the  clerk
       addressing information about a server across a WAN. Once the clerk knows about one server, it can find other servers through referrals.

   Privilege Required
       You must have write permission to the clerk.

NOTE

       This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.

EXAMPLES

       The  following  command	creates  knowledge  of	the  server  nrl  in  the  local  clerk's  cache:  cdscp>  define  cached server nrl tower
       ncacn_ip_tcp:16.20.15.25
