For the most part I'm monitoring Nortel switches, models BPS 2000, BayStack 450 and BayStack 470.

Was SNMPv2 required for monitoring routers that reindex or just traffic monitoring period?

The graphs that I'm creating are indeed in Mbytes, but still, I'm sure there's more going through these links than that. The ports I'm monitoring are gigabit fiber uplinks, each serving several college residence halls. Especially during evening hours I find it unlikely that the average for any of th...

I have been suspecting some problems with my graphs monitoring ethernet uplink ports for some time. There are graphs where an entire building is connected to a single gigabit uplink where the graph doesn't show the bandwidth ever passing 4Mbits or so, but I'm sure that the traffic must be surpassing...

I wanted to get a performance boost so I can monitor a large network with several hundred interfaces. I configured/made/installed cactid, and now when I try to execute the binary, I get the followin...
