the newer openview you have the more alarms it generates... you need to spend a hell lot of time tuning alarm correlation etc.
by the way
did anyone see a nms that's capable of working in duplicate-ip environments like mpls vpns etc? e.g. one that'd use saa agents on cisco boxes (or vrf-aware remote commands) to poll the network...
thanks

A transistor protected by a fast-acting fuse will protect the fuse by blowing first.
