Hi,
I just installed the OPM 8811. I tried to use the "Switch Port Mapper" feature on several switches.
The customer and I found this feature slow and unpredictable. Some time I have no data, some time it takes minutes to have a simply mac address table, some time I have an error message and sometime nothing.
This is the same behavior I am facing with other customers and with several OPM releases.
The customer claim that with Solarwinds this feature is really fast and reliable.
One thing we also noted is that if a switch port is connected to a server that has one MAC but two or more IP addresses, then the SPM only show one of them.
The customer and me need to fix this feature because it is really useful when I need to troubleshoot network issues.
I also tried the same feature on the NCM, but it is also buggy.
Thanks
