Greetings, I've just started toying around with the probe creator Rich posted yesterday, but it occurs to me that the biggest hurdles in monitoring optical gear is:
1) Optical interfaces may have protection; so, display of the optical interfaces on a map is a little different. There may be two discrete presentations of the interface / circuit (working path, and protect path). 2) Optical interfaces are not necessarily recorded within the ifTable (indeed, Ciena 4200 gear records them within the gslamAGPortTable), and so the default manner of Intermapper discovering and showing interfaces within the ifTable is insufficient to graphically represent optical interfaces). For any Dartware folks reading: any chance the interface presentation bits within Intermapper might get some abstraction, such that custom probes can represent links not present within the ifTable?
