Ahhh, that explains it a lot more clearly. My vendor is TMMB....

I don't know either, but it's certainly not shitty! Maybe I'll ask on the Be* forum.. in fact - anyone know any Be* techs we could "abduct" in a month or two?

So it's the better Broadcom 6448 chipset with the CLI commands for DMT tool rather than our shitty cut down Broadcom 6438 chipset with CLI commands removed due to request of UK ISP's, curse BT!!!

[leondz]

No CLI! That's ridiculous! Aw dude CLIs look so badass I'm sure they probably have a function somewhere too

[5M1L3Y]

I think they only removed the CLI commands for DMT Tool, obviously you have to have CLI lol...

[leondz]

So you can't use DMT with the 585 BeBoxes? Can you go via SNMP instead?

[5M1L3Y]

I don't know what that means lol...

Simple Network Monitoring Protocol, iirc - a UDP protocol that allows you to probe remote machines for various stats, like, CPU load, memory load, disk reads, bytes sent, etc etc. If you check out the custom commands in DMT there's a few SNMP options, but I think "snmp walk" times out (usually this returns a list of every statistic that a device makes monitorable over SNMP, which could be a massive list, so i tmight just be the length of the list that causes the problem). The other snmp option in DMT ("snmp community list") returns a list of all the counter IDs and types, and their contents - but no labels! A little annoying. Any SNMP monitoring tool should be able to probe these stats, it's just a case of matching text labels up to the dotted-decimal SNMP IDs you can see in the community list. There's probably something out there (MRTG and RRDtool are pretty popular *nix SNMP graphers) that'd help with the BeBoxes - dunno - what do you reckon?
