this is my second try to get some help ... in the mean time i have
discovered some new problems ;)
i am using tkined 1.4.9 running on a linux server (linux 1.2.13). is there
a newer version ? maybe another version running under another operating
system like Windows95 or WinNt ??
we have a large company network with about 150 nodes and some smaller
networks. it was no problem to discover the smaller ones using ip-discover,
but when i tried to discover the large one it lasted very long (over
night). but when i start it now i get no result, even when waiting so long.
is there a possibility to see where ip-discover stops or hangs up ?
our main part is a 3com super stack switch, in my opinion it is a very big
step if i could monitor this stack, this would give me a glance into our
network.
but till now i couldnīt manage more than getting some little graphics
showing the round trip time and the interface load (snmp monitor) for the
24 ports.
the other thing is that i tried to monitor some values except these two
ones already mentioned. but i do not know how to do it. I checked the snmp
and the icmp statistics ... then i tried to monitor the names i got there.
these things worked, but i am not able to get any other information out of
this damned stack.
what are these so-called snmp communities work ? what do i have to look at
? how do they work and which functions do they have ?
i also tried to change values via snmp-browser ... but even the syscontact
value was not changeable ...
the error message was: nosuchname 1 {1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0 {octet string}
{mynewtext}}
in this company a lot of different operation systems for the servers are
used: HP-UX, Novell 3.12, Novell 4.11, Win NT
HP-UX can be monitored via the rstat daemon, but how can i monitor the
other servers best ?
i have to admit that i feel very helpless dealing with all these things ( i
never had to cope with networkmanagement before) ... but even the getting
started, the faq and some newsgroups-messages have not been a big help for
me ... maybe somebody out there could be ;)
thanx a lot
