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
