Making some custom network maps in LibreNMS and putting hosts in the correct geographical location.

Nice! Never used the logical maps before. I do use GPS in our units in the field to auto populate the SNMP location string which librenms show us on the geo map. Cool trick .

Would be cool if it used LLDP to help make some of the maps
@TallPaulTech

It does try to use LLDP for discovery, and I'd say that plays a part in its automatic map generation. I just like doing my own ones how I like them.

I worked with software that produced maps eliciting the same reaction as yours - FH. What I really want for this sort of thing is done from the CLI, so that I can parse it, reproduce it, and export it. Thanks for the iperf, I'd forgotten about that.

That looks really neat; will have to give that app a go. It feels like someone needs to write an auto edge connector that can at least suggest what it looks like the connected ports possibly are - must be in the ARP tables ?

For when say, a VLAN is limited to 50Mbps during "normal" operation but is allowed to take 75Mbps for 60 seconds (burst) if there is bandwidth to spare. At that point, it'd show 150%.
