I have just read the readme.txt that comes with the latest version of
Switch Analyzer, 1.2.....
Criteria for supported devices
a) Support RFC 1493 Bridge MIB, plus
- All devices connected to the switch must be in the same subnet
as the management interface of the switch
- Multiple VLANs on a switch are supported provided,
- they are in the same subnet
- "community name indexing" is not required to access
each VLANs forwarding table (for example, Cisco 1900,
3Com 1100, 3300 SuperStack). In this case the default
VLAN only is supported.
b) Layer 3 switches are only managed at the Layer 3 level.
Is this really the case??? Most of the point of creating VLANs on
switches is to support /different/ subnets. Further, I would generally
have the management interface of my switch on a separate management subnet.
If I read these criteria correctly, ITSA will only support very simple
switches.
Please, someone tell me this is wrong!
Cheers,
Jane
