For multi-vendor management, AirWave is it. See http://www.networkcomputing.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=197005719&qu eryText=AirWave
It's not cheap, but is extremely powerful. One nice thing is that you can do basic switch monitoring (not management)despite it being a wireless management tool. Lee Lee H.

Michael Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2008 10:44 AM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Management Software I need a quick survey of what all of you out there use for management of your wireless devices (APs and such). We are a small shop with only 127 Access Points and 97 switches but the number of APs will probably double within the next year or so. Most of our devices are HP but we have some legacy Cisco stuff too. Any advice would be appreciated on management software for handling firmware updates, mass configuration changes, monitoring, etc... Thanks, D.
