Hello,
I have sort of a different question.
Here a bit of context:
We currently have 17 sites throughout our school district. All of these have a 1Gbps uplink to our main district office. However, most of these sites are throttled at 100 Mbps. Of course NAV sees these links at 1 Gbps. The issue that I have is when viewing our network topology through Netmap it shows bandwidth usage based on 1 Gbps. However, the sites run at 1/10 the actual link capacity.
Is there a way to 'change' Netmap to show bandwidth usage based on a different threshold?
Thank you
William Daly

Yes, that is a sort of different question :)
Link capacity is determined in Netmap by the nominal speed set on the involved interfaces, and there is no way to change this as of today.
You would have to request a feature to have some way of manually setting a speed value for a link or interface. Not sure where this feature would fit in, either in Netmap or the ipdevinfo port details page (links are not a data type in NAV, interfaces are).
You can add feature requests here: https://github.com/UNINETT/nav/issues/new
