Introduction
WanSpy is intended to give network
administrator a visual view of how their corporate WAN bandwidth is
getting utilized. In addition to online monitoring WAN link, WanSpy also facilitates network administrator to keep
record of WAN usage. WanSpy is based on SNMP
(Simple Network Management Protocol) accepted across industry for
management of computer networks.
In a Cisco®
router with IP accounting and SNMP enabled, the router will monitor the
data on its WAN port. But the data displayed by the router will be raw
and will be of little use to a network manager who wants to know the
traffic on WAN link based on source IP address, destination IP address
and number of packets transmitted. WanSpy takes
this raw data and displays it in a user friendly format based on source
IP Address, destination IP address, number of packets & bytes
transmitted and number of violations.
WanSpy displays various real time
graphs for System, IP and Interface mib objects
of Cisco's proprietary MIB and MIB II . which facilitate user to real time monitoring and
troubleshooting.
WanSpy is able to add N number of Routers.
Features
:
|
|
Display
of data transferred by each host IP and host IP pair in terms of bytes
and packets through Wan Link.
|
|
|
Graphical
display of percentage bandwidth utilization by each
host IP and host IP pair.
|
|
|
Graphical
diaplay of graphs (IP traffic statistics,
Interface statistics, Memory/CPU utilization and WAN bandwidth
utilization) of any Cisco Router.
|
|
|
Works
in live mode (real-time mode) or work in background node to collect the
statistics over a period of time (for inventory purposes).
|
|
|
Generate
alarm the network administrator based on configurable WAN bandwidth
usage threshold.
|
|
|
Exports various displayed
table to screen, text file, MS excel format.
|
|
|
Display Cisco running
configuration and allow user to save the file on own hard disk.
|
|
|
Allow User to configure
Cisco router , user can change the login
password and
enable secret password of the router and configure the new password.
|
|
|
Display ARP table that can
either export to microsoft excel or text file
or
print or copy it to clipboard.
|
|
|
Provides daemon for event
log to Syslog message conversion.
|
|
|
Captures Syslog
messages in log file and process them.
|
Monitor
Bandwidth utilization by hosts IP and host IP pairs
WanSpy collect IP accounting data from Cisco
router and generate two separate display for host table and host matrix table(host IP pairs). Both table
contains data in, data out, total data transfer, total no of packets in
and out by each host IP or host IP pair through Wan link.
WanSpy further analyze IP accounting data and
produce graphical display for bandwidth utilization by each host IP or
host IP pair.
Event
Notification
Event will
generate if host ip or host ip
pair cross data transfer limit defined by user. Trigger or alarm can be
set to cause event for user define threshold value. user
alarmed by sound and by log file.
Router
Management
WanSpy provides complete detail of system and
each interface of router. user can also see
interface status up/down by green/red colour indicator.
Real time monitoring of overall bandwidth utilization of WAN link
WanSpy 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.
Real
time monitoring of CPU and Memory utilization of Cisco Router
WanSpy provides real time graphs to monitor CPU
load and memory utilization of cisco router. provides real time graph for buffer allocation failure
due to lack of memory. All these helps user to
troubleshoot any system related problem.
Troubleshooting
Network Problems
WanSpy facilitate network
administrator to troubleshoot network problems. WanSpy
provides separate graphs for packet drops due to congestion, errors,
access violation, route unavailable etc.
Reporting for offline analysis.
All real time
information for host table, host matrix table, interface details, graphs
data to MS excel sheet or text file to to
printer for offline analysis or for historical interpretation.
Configure
cisco Router.
User can get the cisco running config file
and also user can able to config cisco router like change login password and change
enable secret password directly from a GUI based views.
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.
