re :Network monitoring program.

2008-01-10 Thread Philip Brown
if any of your network devices have NetFlow capability you could try IPFlow ( 
http://www.ipflow.utc.fr/index.php/Main_Page ) as a collector. There are 
binaries for FreeBSD and as a flow collector goes it is quite straightforward. 
It can also be hooked up with RRDTool.

console server using a modern 1U box

2008-01-03 Thread Philip Brown
have a look at xyplex 1600 console server, which is a standalone comm server 
accesed via a network.
you can the also run comserv on your bsd box which will the connect the 16 
ports of the console server as directly connected serial ports giving you the 
use of ports as device files  tip etc. 

if i remember correctly I also used comserv with lantronix/perl console server 
as well.

comserv is in /usr/ports/comms/comserv
