Report the cabling of a switch (Aruba, Dell, or Mellanox) on the network by using LLDP.
If the neighbor name is not in LLDP, the IP and vlan information are displayed by looking up the MAC address in the ARP table or the mac address table.
If there is a duplicate port, the duplicates will be highlighted in ‘bright white’.
Ports highlighted in ‘blue’ contain the string “ncn” in the hostname.
Ports are highlighted in ‘green’ when the port name is set with the interface name.
