yep.  don't need labels (which fall off over time) if you use a simple
database. Switch #/port # connects to: socket #/office #/floor # or
other switch#/port# (and you know where the switches are because their
numbers tell you).

I also have a database of systems/MAC/IP(or dhcp) and I know who
"owns" what.  So even traffic is easy to identify by who it is.

Makes tracking down problems super easy.
