Hi,
GetIF I tend to use for small things in a rush as a trouble discovery tool. I find it
excellent. It allows you to get into devices you have little details on.
gxsnmp is another "free" management tool. This is far more complicated but allows you
to do stuff more in the lines of HP Openview or Cabletrons Spectrum.
MG-Soft also have some excellent products that make it easier to generate the sort of
MIB trees you might want to design for particular applications.
As more discussion on SNMP seems to be requested here are some little findings I have
made over the years.
Of all the SNMP managers I found Spectrum whilst the most cost expensive in the
intitial stages I found it was easier to use and provided better models than any of
the other products I tried.
I found the secret to any management was understand what it is you want to manage,
what you were going to do with the data, how you were going to lay out the model and
to whom the reports would be sent. Without these things you could waste hours
producing useless pictures, graphs and stats. You would feel good and nobody else
could care less.
Just some thoughts
