    Black Diamond 6808 - Extreme

    Just to expand, we have over 10 BD's and I'd guess at over 50 Summits globally within our company. We had a set design in place, and asked Extreme, Cisco and Cabletron to recommend suitable equipment and provide a quote. In the end, Extreme were technically superior and cheaper than any other...

    Black Diamond 6808 - Extreme

    We use numerous BD's, Alpines and flavours of Summits. Over the last few years, we have found the firmware to be slightly buggy, however overall stable and much cheaper than the similar Cisco product. Technically very good product, however their tech support is poor.

    Cisco Ping MIB HIgh Mem Usage

    I have implemented Cisco Ping MIB into MRTG / RRDtool successfully, but unfortunately I am noticing that the IP SNMP process consumes a lot of memory and doesnt release the memory, even if the polling stops. The only was to clear this is to reboot the router. Has anyone had any problems with...
