Re: [WISPA] Anyone Willing to Speak? Deadline is Sat.
I would be willing to speak on monitoring. I have used WhatsUp, and Cacti in the past, evaluated SolarWinds and other Linux based solutions and settled on PRTG. I could put together a presentation that might include the following: - What to monitor -- Ethernet -- Interface errors -- # associated clients -- etc - Creating a custom sensor - Alarms and notifications - Using NetFlow to track traffic patterns - Monitoring Unicast packets, Non Unicast packets, and Errors I plenty of experience with public speaking.
