Re: [AFMUG] visual ospf mapping
So, poking around at the dude, I like that if maps physical ports and can
create visual network maps
You guys that know stuff
If you had your network in the dude with all your physical maps and
connections correct. You could script it to poll each router looking for a
particular route, the default being 0.0.0.0/0
so now you know which port has that route so you could have your nifty
script change that ports link line to a green line with outward pointing
arrows. So your default real time view could just be the 0.0.0.0/0 flow,
but having the ability to select a route you want to see flowing would just
be a matter of looking for that one and changing the link line
I dont know what capabilities the dude actually has, but It doesnt seem
like it would be all that complicated if you knew what you were doing
SNMPc had this type of capability too

backup links which actually forms multiple rings, and yeah, some links sit
idle most of the time, but they're useful because rain fade sucks bad.
Really just gotta draw it out to visualize path costs and how you want
traffic to flow. There will still be tweaking required to get it perfect. :(

I havent messed with the dud much before, always had problems. But
installed it the other day and had it scan the office network. how long has
it been mapping physical ports? I thought that was like a buttered bee.

Could you do SNMP/ROS/etc and put the throughput on the links between devices?
