If your looking for tools to scan a network you could try to search this forum first .... there's alot of info about tools alone to find here , for example here --> Tools

Also to find a ip-address of a switch ... I think you should give us some more details about that ... what's the purpose of finding this IP-address ...what are you planning to do if you find this IP-address...

Anyway I think if you search trough the tutorials on this website I think you could find a lot of interesting info you could use. You can find tutorials about networking here .

For all other info I judgest this site

This is not to be a jerk or anything but these questions you ask have been asked many times so I judgest you search a bit and ask a question if you realy can't find anything and maybe give some more details regarding your question/problem.

Kind regards,

what i wanna have is a tools to discover the network rather then tracing traffic and cables.. scenerios like when a vendor like us goes into a company to maintenance their IS... we have to have some ways to familiarise our with the network and system setup. so i was thinking is there any tools available online and i do not wanna pay..
