Re: Monitor Cisco ports on layer 2 devices

["Ou Shen" <shenou@cn.ibm.com>]

If NetView can't do Level-2 device monitor, which tools can do ? HP
OpenView or others ?

Thanks

No. The only layer 2 that Netview will draw is for some HP hubs, as that
vendor-specific information was in the product when we licensed the code
from HP many years ago.

Cordially,

I believe that this question has been asked but not completely answered.  I
would like to be able monitor the actual ports on cisco devices,
specifically the cisco 6509 acting as a layer 2.  Ideally I would like to
drill down to some map that has these ports listed much like the interfaces
on that device.  Is this possible through NetView?
