Jason,
By default, NetView works at layer 3 (IP), not down at layer 2.  The new IBM
Tivoli Switch Analyzer product gives a start to Layer 2 but it still doesn't
draw you a map showing L2 connectivity.  I think it might show you status
changes on switches on the map??? but not at a per-port level.

Cheers,
Jane
