In theory, Dude's network map is pretty cool. What is not cool is that it sometimes consumes a massive amount of CPU on the routers themselves. I'm not sure if this is a problem with Dude or a problem with the SNMP implementation in RouterOS, but it's a showstopper for me. I have other NMS' that frequently poll MT routers via SNMP and CPU usage does not spike.
Solarwinds has an excellent mapping tool, but it's obviously not free. Josh On Fri, Aug 5, 2016 at 8:44 AM, Stefan Englhardt <[email protected]> wrote: > It does quite a good job.
