- Abstract
- Since devices provided by different manufacturers do not support the same MIB and multi-VLANs in one topology, it is a hard work to discover heterogeneous network topology. An algorithm based on VLAN was proposed in this paper to discover heterogeneous network topology. First we analysed the address forwarding table to get connection between switches, then we collected data of public MIB and private MIB from different manufacturers to get VLAN information. At last we built a heterogeneous network to test the algorithm, and the results proved that the algorithm is feasible.
