You can check  LLDP protocol. This needs to be  supported by routers and
switches. For Linux, there is an implementation here:
 https://trac.luffy.cx/lldpd/
It features an SNMP subagent using AgentX protocol.

There exists other protocols, like CDP (for Cisco). The principle is the
same  but  routers  and  switchs   should  switch  to  LLDP.  The  above
implementation also supports CDP but not the CDP MIB.
