Lab Documentation Completed

I have finally completed the final set of lab documenation for all of the equipment in the test lab. I am finishing the Wiki post with all of the basic configurations for the equipment and and the detailed documentation on the configuration files.

Below is the updated diagram:

With all of the routers working correctly again (and everything reachable), I am not working on the porting of SNAT To the AXP platform on the virtual machine environment.  I think I am going to have issues getting all of the Perl modules moved over to the platform (primarily because I had a huge issue getting them working on full system).

My current plan involves moving some of the more complicated functions to java applications (JAR files) that have all of the modules integrated.  These currently involve the following:

• SNMP Performance Polling


• Telnet/SSH/SNMP information collection


• Performance Data Graphs

In addition, I think I am going to change the way the information is displayed on the screen for the interface data so the graphs are not shown on the large list of interfaces until after the interface is select.  This should allow a better use of the CPU resources on the AXP platform (especially for 6500 type systems with hundreds of interfaces).

I am also working on the diagramming process again to see if I can make it more scalable for larger networks. I will put more information on that process later.
