Total Network Documentation Tool

Hi, new to the forums, I hope this is in the right place.
I have a client that is looking to put together a comprehensive bible on their fairly large network; something that will document everything possible.
Can anyone suggest such a product? I haven't worked with Novell in some time and am kind of out-of-the-loop.
Thanks

OK. Can you tell me a little bit more what you need? "document
everything" is rather vague.
There are several tools, even free that will document the directory. As
for infrastructure, if you have ZCM then there are tons of reports there
that will give you all your PCs, Users, apps, etc.

And Novell File Reporter does a good job reporting file right etc.

Issues configuring network-ups-tools with Powerware 5110

Been using Arch for about 24hrs now (It replaced RHEL5 which was running for 18mths) and I'm very impressed. Have found it very good for a new user, the extensive wiki's have been a huge help to get things going. Under RHEL I really needed to do a lot of google searching to get things working but have only had to do it twice for the same build under Arch. I was able to fix the first issue (wTorrent wiki missed install of php-sqlite) and now network-ups-tools.
I had it working 100% under RHEL so its not a device/hardware issue that I can see. But under Arch I keep getting connection lost messages after starting the ups daemon.
System can see a USB device

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction to get this fixed. I did not install any packages manually, everything has been done via pacman (system is fully up to date as per the time of this post.)

Sure, it was put there by the package retrieved from the default repo by pacman as was everything else. All I did was modify a few files in /etc/ups so all user/permissions etc should be setup correctly by the package?

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 mapping tools?

Hi Everyone,
I have a medium enviroment with 2 x Cat4500 switches and 50 x Cat3650 plus few Cat3750 switches. I'm looking for a network mapping tool which can help me to map all the network equipment so I can easy to manage or trouble shoot the network. It doesn't matter if it's free or paid but something I can try first before buy. I've tried Cisco Works but it was kind complicate and too much work for it so I just don't like it at this moment.
Thanks.

I think solar winds has a tool..land surveyor. Not sure if it's free or not..might want to search.

hi all
we are newly entering in to the production environment. so i want to maintain a all documentations in intranet. can anybody suggest me a documentation tool
thanks in advance
urs akhil

Hi akhil,
If I have understood you rightly, then <b>Microsoft Visual SourceSafe</b> is the tool that you are looking for. It is used for maintaining documents along with their versions and all details on the intranet. The users need to have proper permissions to log in into it.
For more details, visit the following links:
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_SourceSafe">Microsoft Visual SourceSafe - From Wikipedia</a>

This is one software for this purpose, there can be others too.

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.

You will find drivers in Solaris for Ethernet controllers supported on your SB100:

Your 2 choices are to contact 3 Com for a Solaris SPARC 32/64 bit driver or search the web to see if some intrepid soul has created one. Otherwise you will not get this to work.

Fiber optic network monitoring tool

Dear,
Anybody's know Fiber optic network monitoring tool (Including cable)
Thanks

What do you want to monitor ?
If you want to monitor signal strength and such or do you want to monitor that noone connects to the optical link itself and taps out information, or do you want to monitor traffic flows inside of the link.
or do you want to monitor the cable itself with "special" testequipment.
The First and Third options you can get some stuff out of the switch.
The Second uption there are depending on what type of cabeling and wat speed you are in. Do you want to encrypt the information traveling the links ? if so this can be quite expensive.
The fourth one there are some fiber optics test equipment that tells you of cable faults and types and such.
Those range from about 100$ to 10 000$
good luck

Any network discovery tool that supports CLI/CDP?

May popular network discovery tools out there (such as WhatsUp Gold, Solarwind) are based on SNMP. Even though they claim to support SSH/Telnet, but they didn't seem to work the way I thought.
What I'm expecting is a software that mimic the way a human being do on discovering a swtich network:
1) Get to the CLI of the 'seed' switch
2) Do a "show cdp neighbor detail"
3) Look at the entries that have IP address
4) Telnet/SSH to that IP and repeat step 1-3 above
Ideally, the software can cycle through a credential list in case different credentials are needed on different devices.
The closest I can found is "NetBrain". But it seems to be an overkill for light use. I could have written some VB Scripts along with SecureCRT to achieve this. But want to check before reinventing the wheel.
Thank you!

I think that all the relevant information from CDP/MAC/ARP etc. is available through SNMP, so there is no need to control a login-session and invest much brain in parsing the output. Especially if you think about that the outout could be different after an image-upgrade.
Beside of that, a good tool that also uses CDP for discovery is Netdot, or if I understand it right, the underlying software netdisco.
