Switch - Device connection

Hi to all. I'm new to the dude and searched a solution on this forum but cannot find it.
My problem is that I have on a single network a lot of switches (more than 15 HP 26xx) and a lot of devices. Is there a way that in the map automagically "The Dude" draws the connection between switch and devices? Now I'm doing this manually searching the mac address of the device and going in SNMP -> Bridge FDB of the switch and searching the corrisponding MAC.
Thanks!
Gianluca

show cdp neighbor should show you which switch is connected to which switch on what port. They borrowed the command from Cisco. Cisco Discovery Protocol... as far as I know.

Where do you go to toggle this command?

So you have a manageable switch, you can log into it with SSH or Telnet. You probably use a web browser right now? Anyhow download Putty, put the ip address of the switch in there and click ssh and log into the switch. You will have a command line you can type at. Type ? and things like Show Run and show interface G1/0/1 should produce output. One that should work is "show cdp neighbor". This way you can see neighbor switches listed with ports.
