RE: Network discovery

["Scot Braunzell" <sbraunzell () sinetimore com>]

Gergely,
You may want to give Fluke network discovery tools
(http://www.flukenetworks.com) a try. I have used these before and they
will give a pretty good network view including nodes, switches, routers,
printers as well as give you defined line speed views into each subnet
on the network. Should do the trick but its not free, you can download
the fully functioning optiview console that will give you all the basic
information you need.

Once you have it foot printed I would then suggest getting you hands on
nagios (http://www.nagios.org) to continue you monitoring capabilities
post discovery.

All the best,

Thanks for the good advice. I try to download Whatsup.
I tried to download GraphIT, but after registraering it didn't go
futher. I was not succesful. Does anybody have a working version of it?

We use Windows desktops.

How can I specify exactly a scanning range for the whole network? We
have a lot fo subnets like: 10.131..... 172.16.... 10.10.... 10.132...

How could I possible define in a search request all of them?

Br,

Gergely Nagy

I have seen an amazing tool caled GraphIT on a TELECO show once OPENGL
based, runs very very fast and pretty impressive, creates real time maps
of your network and lets you switch between several levels of resolution
(MAC, IP, Workstation or device, Login name)

check it out here:
