Hello, It is defiantly worth checking out JFFNMS. www.jffnms.com. Open source, SNMP, written in PHP uses RRDtool to map Network Interface, works on M$ and Linux. It can Auto discover networks and nodes automatically. It can also collect router and switch config's and store them centrally, allowing you to have your config's backup automatically when they are changed. I have been using is for about 18 months, I monitor and graph 2533 interfaces Using a PIII on RH7 256MB RAM. Info from the main site front page. SNIP JFFNMS is a Network Management and Monitoring System designed to monitor a IP SNMP / Syslog / Tacacs+ Network. It can be used to monitor any standards compilant SNMP device, Server, Router, TCP port or anything you want, if you write a custom poller, we also provide some Cisco focused features. Features. Written in PHP (Works on Linux, FreeBSD and Win2K/XP) Status Map, gives you a quick look of your network Events Console, shows all kinds of events in the same time-ordered display Performance Graphs for everything, Interface Traffic, Errors, CPU Usage, etc. Database Backend (MySQL or PostgreSQL) Integrated Syslog Logging and Tacacs+ Authentication and Accounting Free, licensed under the GPL SNIP As for writing configs for multiple switch vendors I do not know of one tool to do all of those tasks. The tool provided to create Cisco running config's is OK.

NTOP or MRTG with MRTG being the one you really want. 2.) The name escapes but it does exist. LIST ? -jmb -----Original Message----- From: Nuno Carvalho [mailto:n.carvalho () iol pt] Sent: Sunday, July 03, 2005 3:22 PM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Network Related Tools Hy, I'm looking for 2 network-related tools. 1) a Network monitor SNMP capable, with a nice GUI interface. The all point is to have a tool that helps me watching the status of the network (routers, switch, servers, gateways, etc). 2) a Switch/Router configurator - I don't know if this tool exist. I'm looking for a tool that (1) discover all switch/router in my LAN and (2)adding "plug-ins", give me chance to config switch/routers, no matter the manufacter (3COM, IBM, Cisco, etc) I'm first looking for OpenSource Software running on Windows SO. Linux OS is an option, paying for software, not for now.
