Hi Jakob,

I mostly map physical interfaces, because I'm primarily concerned with what is 
plugged into where and whether it's up or not i.e. physical connectivity.

I do occasionally map VLANs, because sometimes I need to know about logical 
connectivity i.e. why can't device A see device B when all the physical 
connectivity is there?

I agree with you - it's difficult to map them both.

Unusually for me, I can't think of any suggestions for the IM crew :)

Hi All,

Just a small query to the masters on the list, as to how you set up  
your IM maps..

Do you map VLAN's, physical interfaces or both?

I'm asking because I'm thinking we have physical interfaces serving 1- 
n VLANs and currently there is no 'smart' way to 'sub-interface'  
VLAN's on the physical interfaces in InterMapper.

It makes it hard to layout the physical wiring along with the virtual  
infrastucture.
If you ask a Cisco switch via SNMP you can get the VLAN's active on a  
given physical interface, so would it make sence for InterMapper to  
automatically sub-interface VLANs active on a given physical  
interface this way?

It would also move the IP networks to possible subinterfaces and  
spawn IP ranges on a VLAN to any physical interface where it's enabled.


So, what's the thoughts from user and Dartware?
