I thought I would share a very useful open source network management
application that we use called NeDi. You can read about NeDi at:
http://nedi.sourceforge.net/ (Home Page)
http://s11.invisionfree.com/Nedi/index.php (NeDi Forum)
You can quickly and easily test a virtual appliance of NeDi at:
http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/184 (The virtual appliance requires you to install VMware player, which is
free)
http://www.vmware.com/products/player/
NeDi Features:
Automated Network Discovery
* Automatically discovers Cisco network devices and learns how they
connect to each other (network topology)
Beautiful Web-Interface
* Simple to use
Device Management
* Quickly telnet to a device with just a few clicks
* Make bulk configuration changes to many devices at once
* Archive device configurations and report configuration changes
Reporting
* Location of users on the network (DNS-->IP-->MAC-->Switch-->Port)
* Show which IP addresses are being used, and which ones are available
* Report by device name, type, serial number, software version, vlans,
and much more!
Monitor Performance
* Graph traffic statistics on every interface
* View the available memory and CPU utilization of network devices
Monitor Availability
* Poll network devices
* Send email or SMS alerts when a device goes down
