Unused Tail Characteristics
Hi Everyone, We have a customer who needs to be able to identify unused tails throughout their large Cisco-based network. What are the groups thoughts regarding a bullet-proof set of characteristics that could be used to 'discover' unused tails? (using SNMP queries and/or telnet/ssh access to the devices) I guess clocking would be a good start.. regards, Matthew.
Re: HP Openview
Also take a look at JFFNMS - http://jffnms.sourceforge.net/ It might be worth letting us know what your management requirements are before dismissing OpenView ;-) ta, Matt. - Original Message - From: John Kinsella [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Eric Whitehill [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2002 9:40 PM Subject: Re: HP Openview Might want to take a peek at OpenNMS...http://www.opennms.org I'm not sure it'll be everything you dream of, but hey it's a hell of a lot cheaper...

I've been looking at it (Specifically the service call portion) and so far, have not been impressed - I'm just not seeing the feature set I would expect. Am I just being stubborn and not seeing the advantages of this? From my understanding the full HP Openview is in beta, but I'm not sure. I've done some researching on HP's website, and I can't seem to really find any relevant data. One of the large sticking points is I am trying to find a *nix based client, specifically one I can get working on Solaris, and so far, I'm having a difficut time tracking one down. Am I wasteing my time with HP Openview? If you are using it, are you pleased? Should I accept fate and life and eat chicken for supper tonight? Any advise and suggestions are welcomed. -Eric
NAT monitoring
Hi, I'm currently working on a project to determine if it is possible to provide a cross-vendor NAT management/monitoring solution. I would like to know what your thoughts are regarding NAT management and ideally... 1. What hardware do you use with NAT and in what configuration? (just general info, not configs ;-) ) 2. What do you use to monitor/manage NAT? (opensource?) 3. What corners, if any, did you have to cut? 4. Are you aware of any vendor-specific MIBs solely for NAT? - I seem to remember a draft a while ago. Any other thoughts or comments would also be most useful. regards, Matt. _ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
Trap and Syslog Query
Hi Everyone, Could anyone help with the following scenario and associated questions... Imagine you have a network consisting of 10,000 elements split into 1,000 devices and 9,000 interfaces. For arguments sake assume the following:- 1. The maximum number traps that the management platform will receive is 200 per second and the typical number of traps is 10 per second. 2. For Syslog - assume we have 4 syslog servers (250 devices per server) that receive a maximum of 10 messages per second per server and a typical 1 message per second per server 3. The devices are using 'out of the box' trap and syslog settings in terms of what they send. Q1. What do you think will be the percentage of 'useful' traps from a fault management perspective? Of course it all depends upon what you are interested in and what the network is doing but some thoughts about the volume of useful traps and what those traps are would be really useful :) Q2. Same question as Q1 but for syslog. Q3. What do you expect the real figures to be based upon the network operating normally and what, from your experience, are they likely to be under fault conditions? Q4. What, again from your experience, devices send the most traps and syslog messages? - is it that a particular manufacturer are particularly trap-heavy for example? Any thoughts or advice would be most appreciated. regards, Matt. _ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
