Another NMS option is OpenNMS. I've never used it, but it is HPOV/Spectrum like, and it does do auto-discovers. One thing to note - if you are using an NMS tool like this for pen-testing, they are not very subtle in their network discoveries, and they'll end up logged everywhere. Also, for good maps using NMSes, you'll probably need read-only community names, since the best maps use forwarding tables to determine connections. mathias --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
