You should look at SNMP, Simple Network Management Protocol. [from Linux Journal June 1997] Network Management & Monitoring with Linux, One of the most popular SNMP packages is CMU-SNMP. Originally designed by Carnegie Mellon University, it has been ported to Linux by Juergen Schoenwaelder and Erik Schoenfelder. It's fully complient with the SNMPv1 standard and includes some of the new proposed functinalities of SNMPv2. ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/network/admin/cmu-snmp-linux-3.2-bin.tar.gz PERL 5 module extension for CMU-SNMP: ftp://ftp.wellfleet.com/netman/snmp/perl5/SNMP.tar.gz MRTG: Multi Router Traffic Grapher, ...graphically represents the data SNMP agents brings to SNMP managers. It generates nice HTML pages with GIF graphics about inbound and outbound traffic in network interfaces in almost real time. http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/mrtg.html GD Graphic Library(required by MRTG) http://www.boutell.com/gd/ Router Stats: http://www.scn.ed/~iain/router-stats/ SNMP Network Management Software http://wwwsnmp.cs.utwente.nl/software scotty for Linux ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/network/admin/tkined-1.3.4+scotty-ELF.tar.gz -- +---------------------------------+ | David Fries | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | +---------------------------------+ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
