off topic: managing networks in a switched environment

["Matt Ashfield" <mda@unb.ca>]

Hi all,

This is a bit off topic, but I figure it is the correct audience.

I was wondering what people in this group are doing to monitor their
switched networks? As our campus network moves from being a routed network
with lots of subnets, to being more of a switched network with few subnets,
it has become increasingly harder to get a good view of our network through
Netview. It has become VERY difficult to monitor the network as well and
troubleshooting is taking much longer.

I'm sure I"m not the only one experiencing this, and am hoping for some
feedback. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

THanks
