Finding Switches on The Network

[RookThis]

Does anyone know an easy way to find how many switches are on a given network. I am trying to avoid having to telnet to each switch and issue a show cdp nei to get an idea how many switches someone has on their network.

Any suggestions?

Cisco network assistant if Free but only supports 20 devices at once. I think you need a valid CCO to download it though.
