Just want to be in the loop as they say for when this is released so I can test it out.
Thanks.

Hello everybody !

Just wanted to ask whether it is also possible to perform a real-time query for ip / mac address of attached devices in the network.

I am really looking forward to testing this interesting tool.

Everybody who is interested in this feature could also take a look at http://www.netdisco.org or http://nedi.web.psi.ch/ .

Any chance on adding in Nortel devices? I have decent sized network of Nortel devices and it would be nice to have this feature for them as well.

hi all

does this addon poll the devices for new installed interfaces "modules" ?

any help would be appreciated.

I've been checking this thread for what seems like months

I would be totally satisfied with unguaranteed alpha software... Maybe if it was released we could make some progress with it here in the community?

Anyways, at least a news update would quench our thirst

cheers

We have to release 0.8.6h before I can release the addin. Plus cigamit has to roll into the plugin architecture. I am very busy at the office. I feel real bad about not being able to release yet. I will see what I can do.

If you can move a pre-production box to the SVN version of Cacti though, you may be Ok.

Larry,

I am very interested in this once it is available. Are you doing the tracking form an external poller?

Regards,

Willie

Damn, I "just" finished hacking arpwatch to do similar stuff, of course all in perl and flatfiles and no frontend for looking at the data it collects. Never once crossed my mind to put it into cacti.
Only feature missing in cacti that I can see is network auto-detection.
I have an almost working script that walks the network nabbing arp tables and CDP neighbors. Its very slow but pretty through and just spits out a list, maybe I should start thinking about trying to get the data into the db... or did someone already do this too?
