Network Management Systems - Part I

NMS Inventory - for quite a while I have been meaning to document an NMS (Network Management System) which is currently running at a clients site.

The base operating system is currently FreeBSD 6.1 with a whole lot of useful tools as well as SMS alerting system. The base install includes Apache 1.3 (good old reliable stuff!), MySQL 5.1, Perl and PHP.

- cacti
- NeDi (Network Discovery tools)
- netflow tools
