we use one of our netview boxes to do a total network discovery every
night. this captures dns name, ip, and mac address.
then we use ovtopodump -L to to blast this out nightly to a flat file we
can use for searches
we also use this info in other automation, such as a layer 2 switch port to
device name mapping (snmp vs the cisco cam table yields mac addresses)

ps btw - \usr\ov\bin\ovobjprint is also useful.

As James says, this information should all be in your object database.
If you want a more elegantly formatted solution, use the nvdbformat
command. There are some samples in /usr/OV/conf/nvdbtools - look at
interfaces.format. This gives you an HTML report with what you want.
If you just want a simple text report, look at some of the other
samples - it's fairly straight forward.
Cheers,
Jane
