I have just discovered NTM and i am wondering if when you export the discovered map to network atlas (not an option in the free trial) does the nodes automatically show up as live (up/down) status in solarwinds after i save the map? or do i have to drag n drop the nodes over to the map - like this export would be just a…
Spanning tree, as we know, is an extremely useful function of a network. However, equally so, in the hands of an inexperience engineer, or with someone adding network devices or 802.1q capable network cards to the network in an uncontrolled manner, it can be the worst thing ever. It would be useful to have a map view of…
ISSUE: Topology data is missing; whether IP, MAC, Hostname or VLAN data. PURPOSE: Guide to walk through a methodical way of identifying the issue and resolving the problem Products this Guide will address: * Network Topology Mapper * User Device Tracker * Engineer's Toolset tool Switch Port Mapper * Connect Now in Orion…
Here lately there has been some confusion as to when to use Orion's Network Atlas for topology mapping and network diagramming vs. using LANsurveyor so I thought I'd take this opportunity to share my thoughts on the subject. There are two primary use cases for applications that do network/topology mapping and I think the…
So my network manager has asked me to create one of the network topology maps with link utilization and all that fun stuff, but one problem. Whenever I go to Network Atlas and create a map and pull all the nodes into it, none of my links get discovered. This is not surprising, as I have had Layer 2 and 3 topology turned…
I would like the NTM product to be able to do one of two things in a distributed network. 1) Create a mapping "agent" on a remote network that can be managed from the central NTM and report the mapping results back to the central NTM for inclusion in large network maps. 2) If #1 cannot be done, then provide a way that Nmap…
In general the topology of my network that NPM has discovered is quite accurate... but there is one switch that has the topology completely wrong and I don't know why. Specially, I have a HP 3500yl connected with a single link/vlan to a HP 5400 core switch. Several other switches are also linked to the 5400 core, and all…
