(1) When you paste a device or a network onto a map it should go where you last clicked on the map rather than always going in the centre of the map. (eg, this is how Filemaker works when you paste objects into layouts.)
(2) Provide a way to hide all interfaces that are down. This would be a real time saver when creating complex maps.
(3) Provide a global preference to default new interfaces to Full Duplex. Half Duplex is almost a thing of the past.
(4) For all of the built in application probes (ie, not Ping and SNMP probes) there should be a radio button in the probe configuration window that causes the device to go DOWN rather than into ALARM when the application probe fails. As things stand if the application probe fails but the server is still pingable, the device only goes into ALARM. In 99% of the cases with application probes this is not what people want. We have missed important application level outages because of this. As networks get bigger it is common to always have many devices that are in alarm, and so alarms tend to go unnoticed.
(5) In the Device List devices that are in ALARM should come before devices that have been acknowledged. On our Device List we have two dozen devices that are acknowledged (due to construction projects) and so our NOC can't see the devices that are in alarm.
(6) Provide a global preference that causes "Ignore Appletalk port information" to disappear from the device info window. I'll be the majority of sites don't use Appletalk any more.
