First I have just installed jffnms and started using it. I am really impressed. I am the network engineer for a wireless ISP and use Mikrotik software to run my network. They have a network monitor but I found it was causing problems and I was having to hard reboot routers or bridges on towers because of it. I have been running jffnms for a week now on a test box and have had no such problems. I am using 0.8.3. Now for questions and observations. First, the test jffnms is on a dell box behind a router performing NAT here at my home office. Network discovery did not work for me. I set a zone with a seed, for example 10.40.0.0/24 and it found nothing. Also auto discovery brought my home office network to its knees, slow to the point my email program would not retrieve email. Turning that off solved the problem So I entered hosts manually and did a manual discovery which worked fine. The jffnms continues to monitor those hosts and interfaces well with snmp well. Also two other items. I configure most access points with the ethernet and wlan interfaces added as ports to a bridge. In some cases jffnms will show the wlan interface as down even though it did discover it. I have not found anything common between those that show this or anything different between those hosts that do not show that and those that do. Second to that is those that I have configured for nstreme2 in Mikrotik (full duplex link). Again either the wlan interface or both the ethernet and wlan interfaces show as down and never show up. If I remove those interfaces and just go with the bridge interface in the first case or just the nstreme2 interface in the second case then it will show fine. Only thing in common I see there is there is no ip address assigned to either the ethernet or wlan interfaces, only to the bridge or nstreme2 interface. Any thoughts on these items?
