STUPI has nothing to do with it and doesn't know about it. Bob's right; these are GRE tunnels (Peter is a hard-core Cisco guru), both to Peter and to Brian H. (who is quite sharp with Cisco stuff as well!) So how can we do this...I don't think IOS implements NICE, but I'm sure its DECnet routing table can be pulled out via SNMP. Brian (Hechinger), I can set up a read-only SNMP community and your poller (when it discovers an appropriate router) can walk the tree, maybe? And either Sampsa's code can parse that output, or you can reformat it into a consistent format to hand to Sampsa? What do you think? (snmpwalk is your friend!) This is being written in python so I'm sure I won't have any trouble accessing SNMP. I hope. :) I have my router as well, but the more data points the better. I'm nowhere near looking into that just yet however. I will keep you all informed. :) -brian
