Support for SNMP V3
Various bug fixes
Removed config file requirement, everything is done on the command line now.

Added a device info sidebar
Fixed a discovery bug

Added support for SNMP Version 3.

Switch Miner supports the USM SNMP V3 model. If you are using SNMP V3 make sure you have a group configured on you switch that has an auth contect vlan- match prefix statement.
This allows polling of each of the VLANs on a switch to get MAC addresses. Without this you will get very few MAC addresses.

SNMP Profiles

Added SNMP profiles, these can be accessed from the SNMP Profiles box on the toolbar by clicking the down arrow then clicking edit profiles or by going to view->Options->Profiles.... read more

A Win32 GUI version of switch miner.

You can now specify only a switch if you have no router.
Added capabilities to search for a mac address only by using the --search option.
You can now have multiple routers either on the command line or in a text file if
you have multiple L3 gateways for a switch.

Completely re written from the ground up, now multi threaded. It can scan multiple
switches in a fraction of the time of the old versions. Has support to do WMI scans
of endpoints to collect more information. See the sample sm.conf file.Please report
issues or feature request in to the sourceforge ticketing system.

New Options in Version 2.75
--------------------------------------------------
Added -o option to specify an output filename. If you do not specify a output file name the program will use the switch name.

The following issues have been addressed in this release.
- Fixed SNMP timeouts cause the program to exit.
- Fixed newer switches were timing out with default VLANS 1002-1005.
- Fixed issue with blank return values
- Fixed some netbios names being skipped

--------------------------------------------------
New Options in Version 2.51
--------------------------------------------------
The program now exports the files in .xls format. If you still want an output file in .csv format you must use the -y option. If you use the -l option the .xls file will contain multiple tabs with each of the switches discovered. You do not need to have excel installed on the machine running Switch Miner. It writes out the file
in Biff5 file format which is Excel 95 and up.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Options in Version 2.50
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The -p option will perform a ping sweep before the switch walk. It pulls the subnet
information from the router specified on the command line and performs a ping sweep
of the entire subnet. This will cause the end results to be more accurate in some
instances. If you have large subnets /16's or /8's you may not want to use this option
as it will ping every address.... read more
