Network Switch Search

[fixIT]

Anyone know of a simple quick way to search / reveal switches on the network, preferably remotely, web browser based???

I'm sure The Dude does this.

if not, you can always use the fantastic Spiceworks

Spiceworks - Free Network Monitoring Software for Network Management

 

Still one of the most awesome pieces of free software I've used.

Related to this what can I do if some of my switches are on an unknown subnet?

If you can remove the switch, then maybe plug it into a PC with a copy of wireshark running to scan for any arp packets the switch send out.

 

You might be able to find it's subnet from that.
