Well, it has been some time since I posted this, and the responses have died down. Here is a sumary of the responses. They came in a couple of categories. For management of hubs (port deactivation, etc), there were several responses that all essentially said that they script their own using the snmpwalk ucd-snmp packages, and that their solutions were not available for outside use. For statistics, several people (including myself) use mrtg (http://ee-staff.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/mrtg.html) Is there anyone out there that knows of managment toools that missed the first query? It suprises me that managable hubs sell so well if the only tools to manage them are the Openview/Optivity solutions and whatever people cobble together themselves. Thanks to all that responded.
