Hello all,

I am looking for recommendations for a network analyzer for a 1200 pc,
multiple switches and routers, size network.

Nagios groundworks opensource looks promising. Mapping and showing
possible problems looks good.

Google searches bring back alot of choices, but I would like real world
experience advice from my fellow Debian users.

Thanks,
Chris

I'm a big fan of wireshark myself. Been using it for about half a year now,
and still discovering features.

You mean the product/project formerly known as ethereal?

It has definitely been a wondrous project for many years.

greg,

Novell's Directory Services is a competitive product to Microsoft's
Active Directory in much the same way that the Saturn V is a competitive
product to those dinky little model rockets that kids light off down at
the playfield. -- Thane Walkup

That may be true, but it took recent releases to make it truly approachable
for me. I couldn't get past the interface in earlier versions. What
exactly I got stuck on I can't recall, but I remember it being enough for
me to continue making due with sniff-it at the time.
