Thread-topic: Locating switches in a multi-layer switching environment
Hi,

> Okay, let me draw a picture... pardon the ASCII art!
> Thoughts? Suggestions?

According to your ASCII drawing, I seems that you have physical access at
least to the dept switches. If these switches are managed from a central
office, then go for the uplink. The management vlan must be at least
available on this port. For getting data, choose the simplest way of tapping
the line - for instance using a simple hub if the connect is done via
copper.
