Sponsored No-one said enterprise networking is easy, so it’s understandable that the traditional approach to managing switches has followed the maxim, “keep it simple, stupid”.
For years, NetOps teams have relied on vendors’ own apps to manage their highly complex, and highly expensive, switches, or go on-device using a command line interface (CLI). Of course, they can turn to approved tools or third-party apps in conjunction with standard protocols, such as SNMP – if the supplier chooses to let them.
Even then, each approach delivers, at best, a subtly different selection of data. Oh, and this “simple, stupid” approach means management is never going to be real time.
