+Klask is a small tool to find where is a host in a big network.
+Klask mean search in brittany.
 No hight level protocol like CDL, LLDP are use.
 Everything is just done with SNMP request on MAC address.
 
-Limitation : loop cannot be detected and could be problematic when create the map.

 If you use PVST or MSTP and create loop between VLAN,
-you have to use portignore functionality on switch port to cut manually loop

 (see config file below).
 
-When you use a management port to administrate the switch,
-it's not possible to create the map because the switch doesn't have a MAC address,
-so other switch cannot find downlink port...
-A way is if you have a computer directly connected on the switch is to put this IP as the fake ip for the switch.

 The MAC address associated will be use just for the map detection.

 Klask has now a web site dedicated for it !

 I think it's pretty easy to understand.
 The default section can be overide in any section, if parameter mean something in theses sections.
-Network to be scan are define in the network section. You must put a add by network.
-Maybe i will make a delete line to suppress specific computers.

 The switch section define your switch.
-You have to write the port number to ignore, this is important if your switchs are cascade.
-Juste put the ports numbers between switch.

+Just put the ports numbers between switch.
