Abstract
Presented is a method of determining network topology. The method includes determining virtual local area networks (VLANs) configured to at least one switch on a computer network, selecting a VLAN from the configured VLANs, determining state of the selected VLAN, determining ports associated with the selected VLAN, based upon the state of the selected VLAN, selecting a port from the associated ports, determining operational status of the selected port, and defining status of the selected VLAN, based upon the operational status of the selected port.
