[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] Looking for Network Management Software

terry@hq.af.mil (Terry Bernstein) (07/05/90)

I am looking for a good network management software package. 

We manage an enterprise-wide LAN.  It consists of a broadband backbone
with numerous baseband segments.  On the broadband we use 3-Com
hardware.  We use several Sun 3/260s to manage the LAN.

We are looking for software to help us detect and isolate network
faults.  We currently use some in house developed software to 'ping'
network devices, but don't use the 3-Com management statistics
extensively.  

Sun-Net manager might fill our needs, but we aren't sure.  Any
comments on this software and other suggestions would be appreciated.
