I am new Perl, Please be patient with me
I would like to write perl script that need to do:
1) Discover all Cisco Switches on the Network not other devices
2) Query all the cisco switches found in 1) and see how many connected port are 10Mbps, how many are 100Mbps and how many are Gigabit
3) Generate a report that show:
Switch name 10Mbps 100Mbps 1Gbps
Is this can be done with easly with perl, If yes I realy need some advise how to start this.
