Can anyone recommend a network probe / tester for category-5/5e/6 cables which can tell me if (and what) issues exist in the line, if it sees connectivity (i.e. a live switch port on the other end), which VLAN it is in, and any other potentially useful data (like if DHCP is visible)?
I'd like to include a tool like that in my next budget, but I only know about brands like Fluke which can charge thousands of dollars for a tool like this. I was hoping there was at least something that could tell me if there is connectivity and the VLAN without having to spend more than $500 or so. My best bet so far is something like a highly customized SharkJack, but that really isn't ideal.
