The most accurate network discovery and mapping in the industry
WhatsUp Gold scans networks for routers, switch, servers, printers and other networked devices. Discover your network in minutes using intuitive wizards that step you through configuration.
Primary Discovery methods:
- SNMP SmartScan - Scan the network by reading from a router's IP table. Identify device types, network subnets, and critical services running.
- ICMP discovery - Scan the network by a designated IP range. Identify device types and critical services running.
- Host File Import - Quickly build your network inventory in WhatsUp Gold from an existing file of network information.
View Network Topology
Users choose how to display their network topology within WhatsUp Gold's Explorer style interface.
Manage devices and subnets as easily as files and folders on your system with WhatsUp Gold's Microsoft Explorer® interface. Easily navigate between groups of devices (locations, subnets, etc.), and create new groups on the fly to maximize your network organization.
Viewing options include:
- Device List View - A sortable list view shows device name, IP address, type and status.
- Active and Static Linklines - Quickly identify when the connection between devices is down, with active status lines on the map view. Green lines indicate the interfaces are up, red indicates an interface has failed.
- Client/Server Polling Architecture - A dedicated polling engine allows devices to reside in multiple groups and multiple maps without redundant polling each cycle. Additionally, changes to network data can occur simultaneously to active network monitoring.
- Map View - Display the network infrastructure in a graphical view. Customizable device icons, link lines, and advanced drawing tools create a true network diagram. Add any bitmap image and other objects to enhance the look and feel of your network diagrams.
- Database Asset Storage - WhatsUp Gold includes Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000) to store all network device, log and configuration data.
