Introduction
NetSpy is SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) based software for collecting and
managing information about wide variety of devices located on the
company's network. The information gathered by NetSpy depends on the
Device Manufacturer. Presently NetSpy identifies and scans devices
from more than 100 manufacturer the list of which is enclosed in
Annexure A (Including private MIB support for Cisco, Cabletron,
Enterasys, Extreme, Microsoft and Linux. If the network device
manufacturer you are using respects SNMP standards, NetSpy will be able
to collect all available information regarding this device.
NetSpy is intended to give Network Administrator a
visual view of the different hosts and devices (like Hubs, Switches,
Routers etc) in the network utilize expensive WAN Bandwidth. In
addition to online monitoring of WAN link, NetSpy also facilitates
Network Administrator to keep record of WAN usages for inventory purposes.
bytes transmitted and number of violations.
SNMP based NetSpy accepted across industry for
management of computer networks. NetSpy supports private MIB of
number of commonly used network devices from Cisco, Cabletron,
Enterasys, Extreme, Microsoft and Linux. NetSpy provides information
about Cards, Memory, Power Supply, Processor and Sensors present in this device.
NetSpy also have various online graphs that shows
network traffic and system statistics. This facilitate network
administrator to see trends or to troubleshoot network problems.
This graph data can be exported into Excel Worksheet. Each graph
have scroll bar, to scroll back and see trends in past time.
You can see at most last 24 hours trends by scrolling back.

Device
Management
NetSpy
provides complete detail of device and each interface of device.
User can also see interface status up/down by green/red colour
indicator.
Reporting of interfaces (Log Report).
All interface related real time statistics keep in database for future analysis All problem and issues can be documented for providing to management.
Device Overview.
All devices which are currently in the network will get diaplayed. User can see Object Identifier(OID) and model number of the device .
Real time monitoring of overall bandwidth utilization of WAN
link
NetSpy
provides real time graphs to monitor percentage in/out/total
bandwidth utilization of Wan link. Separate line graphs displays
total bits and packets transfer per sec.
Troubleshooting
Network Problems
NetSpy
facilitate network administrator to troubleshoot network problems.
NetSpy provides separate graphs for packet drops due to congestion,
errors, access violation, route unavailable etc.
Online
Monitoring of the ARP Table.
The Address translation tables contain
the network address to `physical' address equivalences.Some
interfaces do not use translation tables for determining address
equivalences if all interfaces are of this type, then the
address translation table is empty, i.e., has zero entries.
Online
Monitoring of the Routing Table.
The
routing table is built automatically, based on the current
TCP/IP configuration of your computer. Each route occupies
a single line in the displayed table. Your computer searches
the routing table for an entry that most closely matches the
destination IP address.
Data
Management.
NetSpy provides facility to save
Table data to Text File and MS Excel Sheet. NetSpy launches Microsoft
Excel application and the Table data is exported to different sheets accordingly.
Export Charts data to Excel Sheet
Table data to Text File and MS Excel Sheet. NetSpy launches Microsoft Excel application and the Charts data is exported to separate sheets accordingly.
