If the server uses a SNMP probe, the interface speed reported in the Interfaces window should be correct (modulo any bugs in the SNMP agent). If the server uses a non-SNMP probe, such as Ping or a TCP probe, InterMapper actually creates a "fake" interface and guesses the interface speed based on adjacent devices. This "fake" interface will appear in the Interfaces window with a description of "Guessed from address". You cannot count on the speed being correct, unfortunately. For non-SNMP hosts, your only reliable (and remote) source for information about the interface speed is a directly-connected, managed switch. -- Bill Fisher Dartware, LLC -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://forums.dartware.com/viewtopic.php?p=1922#1922 ____________________________________________________________________ List archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/intermapper-talk%40list.dartware.com/ To unsubscribe: send email to: [email protected]
