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).
[Arun] http://www.nagios.org/. This might solve your problems. 


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.

Cheers,
Nuno Carvalho
