Carlos,
Switch Analyzer is for layer 2 monitoring. Integrating Cisco
Works with netview will not give you layer 2. It will provide the cisco
mibs and provide pretty cisco device icons. If you are primarily a cisco
shop you can integrate Device Fault Manager with Cisco Works which will
provide some layer 2 monitoring. You can forward the DFM traps to your
netview server. DFM is a packaged, limited version of SMARTS.. You can talk
to your cisco rep about DFM.

We were discussing the same thing here, (incorporating Switch Analyzer) but
have yet to see a price tag on it. However, we have Cisco Works 2000 and I
understand that Netview can integrate with it. Doing this integration,
does anyone know if it would do anything similar to what Switch Analyzer
would do?

You are right, the price it is QUITE STUNNING. They were here at
Princeton U.
as sales pitch. The basic price wasn't too bad but the cost per switch
port
was insane considering we have thousands of ports.
We just couldn't understand how an add on to Netview would cost more than
twice
its' cost, not to mention the maintenance costs on it.
We just told them "Thanks for coming" and showed them where the door was
at.
