Dynamic is specifically what I’m interested in. I guess I just figure a management app could participate in the OSPF “Backbone” Area and gather the details to generate a map. It’s easy for me since I don’t have to write the code. I suspect the problem would be financial since there would be a relatively limited market

Some are configured as equal cost while others are configured to be used only as a backup. It just seems like it would be useful to have a visual of OSPF status to be sure everything is healthy and functioning as configured.

NetXMS pulls the routing tables to create maps, so the information is there. I'm not sure if it natively displays what you're looking for. They have been known to make major additions, so if you spell it out enough, they could probably add it. ----- Mike Hammett <http://www.ics-il.com/> Intelligent Computing Solutions <https://www.facebook.com/ICSIL> <https://plus.google.com/+IntelligentComputingSolutionsDeKalb> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/intelligent-computing-solutions> <https://twitter.com/ICSIL> <http://www.midwest-ix.com/> Midwest Internet Exchange <https://www.facebook.com/mdwestix> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/midwest-internet-exchange> <https://twitter.com/mdwestix> <http://www.thebrotherswisp.com/> The Brothers WISP <https://www.facebook.com/thebrotherswisp> <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXSdfxQv7SpoRQYNyLwntZg> _____ From: "Wireless Administrator" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2017 10:11:12 AM Subject: [AFMUG] Graphic Display of OSPF routes Can anyone recommend a network management tool that provides a dynamic graphic representation of OSPF routes?
