I use nocol for the network monitering and mrtg for graphing anything I need that has a MIB that supports it! I have had alot more success with NOCOL over WhatsUp ( running on Windows, which we were using before ) becuase WhatsUp just has a very low threshold for monitering things. NOCOL can handle much much more. -=Chris -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Tony Sent: Friday, December 14, 2001 2:30 PM To: isp@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: OT: network management Would anyone care to share network management software solutions? I'm doing an investigation for commercial and non-commercial offerings and I'd like to know what folks have had success with. Basically we've been an home grown shop but I'd like to know a bit more about what software others are using. mrtg ? billing software? cricket? rddtool? netcool? ov? problems polling non cisco gear w/ cisco works 2000 ? hpov , thoughts? integration/mapping of customer and network data ( as it relates to fault management ) This an information gathering attempt on my part so I'm deliberately casting a big/broad net. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tony Link Networking & Telecommunications Services nts.umd.edu/~missing/pgp Office of Information Technology +|F3:C3:04:E2:E4:AC:67:2E University of Maryland +|32:6F:AF:21:A0:16:03:B2 College Park, Maryland 20742-4911 +|4C:83:1C:1B Office: 301.405.2988 Fax 301.405.2988 ------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
