How does it work and what does it do?
Simply enter the IP address of your switch and its SNMP read community in the 
fields and press the Retrieve Table button to get the list. If it fails you will 
be told (see statusbar).
Fdbget.exe is a little tool to retrieve entries from the forwarding database 
of switches. It gives you a table of MAC to interface number. If you are 
looking for a specific MAC on a switch then simply enter the MAC or part of it 
into the search field (without regular expressions). 
The table results and search results are exported to separate files.
A new feature is the ability to use parameters (IP,community) with program start.
A log file will be generated automatically. This will enable the user to start 
fdbget by command line and on multiple devices,then collect all the log files for
analysis. 
Use the syntax
fdbget.exe <IP> <community>
A results file is automatically generated with the name 
"fdbgetresult_<IP>_yyyymmdd_hhnn". The program is terminated after that.
