[c-nsp] Network Management solution for Large Cisco deployement

[Nils Kolstein]

Open source? Closed source? 

Open Source gives several platforms like Nagios (also does service management but also element management). OpenNMS is also a good option.

Closed source: HP OpenView, IBM Tivoli. Comes with a price tag of course. Remeber that most platforms need to be tweaked and tuned to get the best results. Also consider having your CMDB up to date and stuff like that.
