Hi there, I'm new to NPM and looking through documentation to find some best practice when it comes to monitoring switches.
I have a largely nortel ERS 5500 network and thought i would start by monitoring uplinks only. One of the issues is that the Sonar Discovery wizard picks everything up except the port type. I have to manually go into each switch and select the trunk interfaces to monitor because the program didn't pick up any port types.
Is is common to have to manually select the switch ports (interfaces) you want to monitor?
Also, if there are any links to best practices for discovery of network equipment / servers / applications, that would be great.
