The PIX 515UR is a real nice addition. I've got 3k workstations behind 24
class C's. The "U")nrestricted license is for thousands of connections.
But, this site has a Proxy server. This means that there will only be a
handful of internal stations really hitting the PIX/net. Of course, there
is mail, a web server, and one or two other systems needing external access.
Is that Unrestricted license really necessary? What might I loose down the
road if I decide on the restricted license?
Best, G.

Subject: NMS -- What is really needed?
I've been perusing the trial version of CiscoWorks 5.0 w/What's Up Gold.
I'm finding that I might want to invest in a more robust Network Management
System, and/or add-ons. I notice a couple of things at the Cisco site:
The CiscoWorks2000 Campus Bundle.
For Unix boxes, several parts:
Campus Manager
Traffic Director
Resource Manager Essentials (what might be more than
essentials?)
CiscoView
CiscoWorks2000 Management Server
For NT boxes:
LAN Management Solution
Traffic Director
Campus Manager
Resource Manager Essentials
Content Flow Monitor
CiscoView
Then there's a whole bunch of 'other stuff'; device fault manager, switch
probes, QoS manager, internetwork performance monitor, routed WAN
management, ad. nauseum.
I'm big on test equipment, but must admit some antiquity, on my part, and
but a notion of just-enough management for a largish campus/metropolitan
area fiber network.
So, some specifics, eh? Single-mode concentric rings connecting 22 sites.
All within 10 miles, as the fiber runs. Three thousand nodes. No voice.
Gig ether. Cisco equipment, mostly.
Public-sector K-12, so, keep it realistic. Although, now that I think about
it, no matter who wins The Election, K-12 education has been promised
billion$$$.
I'm waiting for the manna to start falling....
Thanks.
Best, G.
