I'm looking at a few Enterprise level customers that don't have an idea
of what sort of Cisco equipment they have.
They're looking for a good inventory of all of their equipment.
Physically walking around to all of their remote sites is out of the
question simply for cost/time.
SNMP would be great but not all of their switches/ routers are
guaranteed to support SNMP or have it turned on.
NMap OS Detecter might not be a bad idea, if it could detect the type of
device and IP address. I could then telnet into the device and gather
the serial number, etc. This of course wouldn't work for any device
that doesn't have an IP address.
Anybody else have any ideas, or better yet, actually do this
successfully for a very large enterprise organization?

P.S. Building a Time Machine and going back in time to actually track
the devices before they were rolled out is not an option ;-)
