I want to know if there is a tester that can read switch IP addresses and port numbers on cisco switches? I spend my time tracing down patch panel ports via LAN wiring configuration diagrams that are often inacurate or out of date. If some one can give a recomend on which one to buy I would very much appriciate it.

Fluke LinkRunner. There may be other testers that would do the job. You need something that supports the Cisco Discovery Protocol in order to tell you what switch you're on and which port.

A easy way to find which port the cable is plugged into is a toner like this one.

Cabe Tracker

It will make the link light on the port pulse in a certain sequence so you can find it easily.
