This is a long overdue summary of SNMP Administration software that I collected.

My own contribution is Performance Systems International (PSI) in Reston, VA but
that's all I know about them.

Dan,

I've got a couple of contacts at Wollongong for you to try:

Denise E. Earheart  (415) 962-7211                   [National Accounts Manager]

Edward L. Alcoff    (415) 962-7100   oldera@twg.com  [Product Line Manager]

HP does stand for Hewlett-Packard.  We are dealing with their Mountain View
office, but any sales office will have information on OpenView.

Dan,

I missed your original post to comp.protocols.snmp, but here is a list of
vendors (and approximate product names) of network management station
software that I can think of off the top of my head.  Yes the cmu and mit
stuff is bare-boned, but they are also public domain.  The cmu distribution
is what we used originally to develop a SNMP agent for our terminal server
and has some recent interesting updates.

In no particular order:

        Cabletron:  Spectrum
        Sun Connect:  SunNet Manager
	HP:  Openview
	IBM:  ??  (I've heard this is a port of the HP Openview to run
		on IBM RS/6000 machines)
	NetLabs:  Dual Manager  (this one supposedly supports CMIP as 
		well as SNMP)
	Lexcel:  Lance
	Hughes Lan Systems:  ??
	SNMP Research:  ??


	Epilogue:  not sure of the name, but this one is interesting because
		they supposedly sell the tools to make your own SNMP agent
		and management station


You get the idea.  There are LOTS of vendors out there selling SNMP
management stations.  Look at the April 6, 1992 issue of Communications
Week for an article that lists many vendors and products.  There is
probably something more up to date than that.  Good luck!

NetLabs offers a net mgmt platform and applications that  will work in
an snmp environment. The NetLabs product line can let the user manage
traffic volume on local and wide area links, monitor the quality and
utilization of the lines.

The user reporting is very flexible. User can create a report format
(or template), then schedule at the desired time or frequency. The output
can be in text or in graphic (bar, pie, line charts) or both. This is
helpful when the network support team must present to management. It is
most helpful since the report formats can be the same, therefore, the
administrator can easily watch trends, and rerun reports for longer
durations.

Take a look at "Open Systems Today", page 26 of the Sept 21, 1992 issue.
There is a comparison of the top net mgrs.  I can tell you a lot more
if you would like. We have a good discovery, interface to be announced
to a service-desk application, interfaces to lots of other applications.
We have a very powerful alarm system. You can see problems coming before
the user calls.

I can be reached at (415) 9611-9500. I wear a pager 1-800 sky-page and
my pin number is 227-3779.
