RE: Network Monitoring [7:63532]
For status on *nix Nagios(http://www.nagios.org) is the way to go. For Windows Servers Alive(http://www.woodstone.nu/salive) is a great tool, it's less than $200 or free if you have less then 10 checks. MRTG or RRDtool for trending. -Kevin > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Kevin Banifaz > Sent: Friday, February 21, 2003 5:33 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Network Monitoring [7:63532] > > > Does anyone know of any free or really cheap network > monitoring tools, I > work for a real cheap company and I can't get them to shell > out for HP OV. > I appreciate a response. > > Thanks in advance > > Kaveh Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=63561&t=63532 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Router Configuration Backups?? [7:70009]
A number of perl scripts(I don't have links handy but check the archives) or Kiwi CatTools will back up the configs and let you know if they have changed. You can also use syslog to get notification of when it was changed. -Kevin > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Stevo > Sent: Monday, June 02, 2003 12:37 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Router Configuration Backups??

RE: Poll: What do you use to backup your configs? [7:46229]
TFTP and expect scripts. Take a look at Kiwi Cat tools(http://www.kiwisyslog.com/info_cattools.htm.

RE: MRTG related [7:58497]
Check that MRTG is still connecting to the router. If MRTG loses connectivity it will continue to use the last number it had. If this was during a peak it would look like the utilization had jumped up. It could also simply be increased usage. -Kevin > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On > Behalf Of puro prasad > Sent: Tuesday, December 03, 2002 5:50 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: MRTG related [7:58497] > > > I am running mrtg to monitor one of my ethernet ports on the > router.

RE: Auto-Negotiation or Manual Configuration [7:58904]
Just read this article that outlines some of the issues with auto-negotiation - http://www.nwfusion.com/columnists/2002/1209tolly.html We always use manual configuration on network devices, and typically on computers.

RE: Network Management Tools [7:48906]
You can use SmokePing (http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/smokeping/index.en.html) or MRTG with PingProbe (ftp://ftp.pwo.de/pub/pwo/mrtg/mrtg-ping-probe/) to capture the data and create graphs, how you distribute it is up to you. I don't know of anything that will print or email the reports directly from the application.

RE: Everything working now? [7:49438]
I'd agree with the 2u and Dell recommendations. Much more flexible and better redundancy in the 2u systems. If the box will sit in a "populated" area be wary of the new Dell 2650, it's an extremely loud system. -Kevin > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On > Behalf Of Mark W.

RE: Good network monitor prog. ??? [7:75081]
Surprise...it depends. If you're looking for something to monitor and graph things like bandwidth, cpu and memory for a couple hundred targets so MRTG is perfect. Since it is Perl based MRTG is available for most platforms. If you also want to monitor up/down status, Windows/Unix/Netware servers and do alerting then something like Servers Alive(http://www.woodstone.nu) is great. It's free for up to 10 targets and the top end version is $179.00USD. This only runs on Windows. Nagios is a great alternative for *nix. -Kevin > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Steven Aiello > Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2003 12:42 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Good network monitor prog. ???
