I would like to see modem support for out of band access to nodes within NPM. The OOB number could be part of the node in NPM, and if a node is down, be able to click on the Connect via OOB option to dial out to the remote node.
dont forget to vote on your own idea
We use a custom field to add the number and a script that grabs it from the DB to test. I think it failed a while back and noone care enough to get it back online, but this would be nice if it was built in... May be difficult to have a dialout associated though....
Thanks for the reminder!
Just in general - Out of Band Support built into SW.
Give an extra check box/option to select and then you can input the OOB IP Address.
Heck +1 to ping the OOB IP when the Node goes down to add a line to the alert informing of OOB status.
