Hey Johnny, Can you add: 9.14 (GRAIL) 9.16 (CNR1) 9.17 (CNR2) 9.18 (CNR3) Oh, and change 9.15 from TSTBD6. to TSTBD1. I messed up there. Thanks. -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net/ Personal stuff! http://gimme-sympathy.org/ My permanently-a-work-in-progress pet project.

I am happy to admin the map (both automatic collection and the manual stuff) so the "weird" equipment guys only need to send me their details once - after that they will be added to the map each time. GRE tunnels and Cisco routers are by no means "weird", my friend. ;) Let's see what Brian H says about using snmp. That might be the answer. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

Is this OK, Dave etc with CISCO gear? I'm fine with providing anything that helps the project. I suggest striving for fully-automatic operation, though, for minimal administrative requirements.

Cisco DECnet info, was Re: [HECnet] HECnet mapping project

Cisco NML, was Re: [HECnet] HECnet mapping project

I believe the Ciscos have DECnet node numbers and run an NML equivalent (i.e. they respond to NCP commands) but I don't know much about them. Sorry; I don't have one. $ mcr ncp NCP>tell gw list known circuits %NCP-F-CONNEC, unable to connect to listener -SYSTEM-F-NOSUCHOBJ, network object is unknown at remote node $ -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
