Mock RFP for SUN network management tool, desperate 4 help, just need specs

OK, I have a project that in essence is a mock Request for Proposal (RFP), I play as an intern, & our instructor roleplays the manager we need to convince. The different network management tools that were available were for example; HP Openview, Cisco Works, Sniffer....& I of course chose SunNet. We need to gather information on the tool, then turn around & design a relatively simple network from the specs that were given, & finally discuss how the management tool's abilities could benefit the (mock) company...power point presentation & all.
Here it is from the homework sheet given to us...."These products will need to be useful in a 5000 node network that has four main locations that are primarily Ethernet. There is a legacy 100 nodes of Token Ring attached to a mainframe. Cisco or Foundry routers connect the Four main locations, with swiches employed. Other connections to these sites are done via DSL or ISDN. Additional considerations are wireless communications, VOIP & Content delivery systems.
I know this is a lot & I'm not asking for someone to do all this for me, just simply provide any information you know about Enterprise management tools 2.0 or 3.0,or anything you may feel better suits my needs, as the links I have surfed about them give little to nothing about specifics that I need to make any argument. If you have any links send them...if you have anyting in hard copy I will pay for postage... I need to get this done & have little time as I go to school & work full time at Motorola (but only as a contractor), so I'm starting to choke & need help....any u can give is so very appreciated....& sorry to make this request a publishable novel here on the board, but thats what it is. Thanks again......Mark

A good solution. Liked it very much. Can you please make it a technet blog for others.

Network Management tool

I am looking for a network monitoring tool that will provide me bandwidth analysis (incoming and outgoing traffic), latency, availability and anythign else that could be useful to understand how the network is doing. I know that there are a lot of costly tools out there but there are also free ones, that is what I am looking for. A tool that is easy to install, manage and use.
Any recommendations?

installation of Cacti itself is pretty easy on my opinion, on my personal experience other supportive applications was a little bit difficult since I am not expert on those area. if you have some experience or some one else able to help you with installation of (apache,mysql,php) you can accomplished your goal easily. also you can get help from cacti user forum. I am used this document as base of my installation and tweak a little bit based on my need.
once you installed cacti is very easy to manage and power full. currently I am using cacti to monitor more than 6000 interfaces from 200 different locations. if you have question down the road with installation, I will try my best to help you.

Network management tools?

I have a more or less typical home LAN - Cox cable Internet, Airport (graphite) providing wireless and DHCP, 8-port Linksys switch, 3 Macs, Ethernet printer, and occasional guests via Airport. All works very well most of the time, but lately I've had several incidents when suddenly things stop working (ie local networking and/or reaching the Internet).
What I'm looking for to help diagnose this is some software tool that will tell me in summary what's showing up in my network - hosts, IP addresses, maybe network traffic... I know I can go to the individual devices and get that info, but that's very labor intensive, and not real-time oriented for monitoring purposes. I've looked at a couple of tools, but they all seem oriented to stats on the one hosting machine where the app is, not the network in general.
Can anyone point me to better tools? Don't need snazzy map drawing with Lat/Long coordinates, a simple table would be enough. Freeware or shareware is nice, and I don't mind a modest cost, however this is just a home, so I'll not afford the $1500 wanted for one tool I saw. I'm surely not the first person to want this, am I?

Or have a look at this, I'm on 10.3 so can't test these...

RFP for a project management system

Hi,
I am asked to present points related to a project management system. CAn anyone advise on links which help me get all the data required to be asked as questions to the supplier about their project management system.
Thanks
mp

Hello,
This should be driven from your internal requirements for the toolset. Not sure you will find anything helpful as nobody will know your requirements. Maybe you could reach out to a Microsoft PPM partner to help you understand your requirements and help build
your RFP. Maybe look for a PPM partner on Microsoft Pin Point and see if they can help you.

Best practice for limiting network management to few devices

Hello ,
I have set up a very basic security implementation that is no way realistic, but I just want to experiment and learn...
In my 1801 router that answers DHCP requests on separate wired and wireless vlans, I have bound static IP addresses to the MAC addresses of my laptop wireless and wired interfaces.
Then I set up an ACL to permit inbound traffic from these IPs only for the vty lines.
Obviously this is easily defeated by statically assigning these same IPs to any device on the network, so I was thinking about a better way to limit management of the router to a few devices.
What is the best practice in professional environments?
Thanks.

Obviously this is easily defeated by statically assigning these same IPs to any device on the network, so I was thinking about a better way to limit management of the router to a few devices.
TACACs or RADIUS with robust password policy and regular interval to change the passwords (30 to 45 days).
Read this and go to the "Composing hard-to-guess passwords" section.

Looking for a disk management tools in JAVA

Hi everybody,
I am currently looking for tools or APIs designed for disk management. I explain : I would like to defrag or format a microSD card with Java code.
Is it possible since the way to get access to the memory card depends on the underlying OS. I know that the really defrag or format action is OS-independent, but filesystem type dependent.
Can you help me please ?
Thanks in advance.
Oliwood

These are system level, platform dependent actions and not the sort of thing Java is made for. If you search hard enough (read Google) you may find these types of tools using JNI for specific platforms, but I wouldn't count on it.

Airport express for isolated network diagnostic tool.

I have many isolated IP networks that I maintain. I am amazed by the network scanning capabilities of my iPhone. I use the various scanning tools when setting up wireless networks. My question is: can I use an Airport Express connected to an isolated network (no internet connection) via an Ethernet cable and connect my iPhone wirelessly to scan the wired network. I have been reading that the Ethernet port is only active when extending an existing wireless network. I would need to be able to set up a static IP address to get it into my network. I'm hoping this would work, much quicker and portable than a bulky laptop and computer bag.

I have been reading that the Ethernet port is only active when extending an existing wireless network.
It would also be active (802.11n AirPort Express only) if the Express is configured as a wireless Ethernet bridge. Apple calls this mode ProxySTA. However, in this mode the Express would not provide a wireless signal.
To get around this, you would need to use a second Express connected to the ProxySTA by Ethernet. This second Express can then broadcast a wireless network for your iPhone to connect to.

Looking for Mail Rules Management Tools and Advice

I missed article #302257 Mac OS X 10.4.3: Some Mail rules may be disabled after syncing with .Mac
Now I have a big mess with lots of mails being directed to the Trash
unintentionally. I having difficulty sorting this all out.
I'm synching among 3 machines.
I had started with 153 rules. Without realizing it (see the article above) that number almost doubled but I was puzzled that some rules got turned off. Having so many rules I failed to check for duplicates at first - not that it really should have matter except to slow down the evaluation process a bit.
Rules seemed to be scrattered more widely than they were originally due to the syncing anomoly. But it is hard to get the "big view" with so many rules.
Last night I eliminated the dups on my main home machine. I tried to reorganizing for logic's and clarities sake. But made the mistake of renaming several rules. Now it seems that this caused problem, too.
Is there a better way or, even better, an application that works with Mail.app rules that can help one organize, helps tests the rules, and helps one make sure that the stop evaluating rules drop down is selected?
If there a non destructive way to open and print out the Mail.app rules file in an understandable way? And then use that information to write better mail rules?
Thanks in advance.

Jan-David,
1) Have a look at Cantemo Portal which also has a Final Cut Server migration tool.
http://cantemo.com/index.html
André Aulich (moosystems) has built the FCSvr migration tool, and the integration with Archiware P5 Archive:
http://moosystems.com/products/moofs/
Check out the YouTube videos for FCP X and Premiere integration:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnjBbDajC6U
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTawWFiIyTw
2) And you might also check out Axle Video:
http://www.axlevideo.com
This is on the lower end. It has fewer features, but it aims to be a simple MAM, not an Enterprise tool.
I don't think there is a Final Cut Server migration tool yet, but that might be coming soon.
