We need to show these interfaces for the integrity of the network. If I
have a high usage link between two switches, it'll glow yellow or
orange. If I'm not showing computer interfaces, how do I see what
computer/port is a major contributor to the high usage?
Yes, we most likely do have students using p2p illegally, and although we
try to block all p2p at the packetshaper, it would be nice to just see from
a bandwidth point which students are still using high bandwidth apps, and
figure out if they are p2p programs getting around the blockage.
We do have two (huge) maps that are our backbone, and only show ports going
to other switches, and these ones for the most part should stay green. But
we also have about 20 other maps (showing devices in various buildings)
that we like to see all the ports on, to see what computers are using what
bandwidth, to see at a glance what ports are not being used (show status of
a down port, and if it says that port has been down for 5 months, chances
are, thats an available port, and if something is plugged into it, it can
be unplugged, as we don't normally keep live empty ports in some buildings).
This functionality (along with the "IfAlias not available" issue) will be
something that we look for in whatever we're going to use to replace
intermapper.

Not that I should deside what you do with your setup, but I am a bit
curious why in the world you like to show interfaces that is not
mission critical..
Do your users use illegal software like Limewire or Kazaa or
something (that show as bandwidth usage) or do you have other issues?
On the maps I use, it's just clutter and makes the important stuff
fade into the void...
Could you elaborate a bit on why you need to see those interfaces?
Best,

After waiting about 3 years, I've just come to the realization that
all my maps will be in constant alarm state because of interfaces
being down when people turn computers off.
This could also be fixed via custom probe that allowed for ports
coming off from the device being probed.. I think I requested this
a few years ago as well, but no luck there either. The only time
you can show ports on a device is if its probed with a built in
intermapper probe.

Hi "Dartware"
Anything new about this feature?
I'm waiting badly for this.

These interface are not interesting for my network health.
But I don't want to acknowledge some interfaces with servers or
uplinks behind.
I also need the "standard" acknowledgement feature like timed or
indefininite for the interfaces.
We have had a couple of enhancement requests along this line, and
we can certainly add yours to them.
At the moment, the acknowledge for an interface is just the
equivalent of the "basic" acknowledge for a device.
