IP Network Browser
Network Discovery with IP Network Browser
Having a current network discovery of a subnet or range of subnets is critical to solving many network problems. While that are a lot of network discovery applications that provide IP addresses or DNS there is only one that gives you’re the detailed information available in SolarWinds award winning IP Network Browser.
Network Discovery via SNMP
The IP Network Browser from SolarWinds is not only an incredibly fast discovery application but one that provide extensive data across a broad range of various vendors networking devices. Information is collected via ICMP and SNMP locally or on a remote network thousands of miles away. Some of the information collected by the network discovery feature of IP Network Browser includes:
- System MIB Information
- IOS levels and information
- Interface and Memory Information
- Operational Status
- Route and ARP Tables
- MAC Address
- TCP/IP and IPX Network Information
- UDP Services
- VoIP tables
- Frame Relay DLCIs
- Flash memory
- TCP Connections
….plus much more.
The IP Network Browser application has the ability to scan and discover a single IP Subnet, or a range of IP subnets. The discovered network devices are displayed real time providing the network engineer immediate access to the detailed information. For example on a Cisco router the network discovery will not only determine the current IOS version and release but also what cards are installed into what slots, the status of each port as well as routes and ARP tables. By contrast the information IP Network Browser discovers when it scans a Windows server includes interface status and bandwidth utilized, services running and even what software is currently installed and running.
Nothing Comes close to the performance of the IP Network Browser
The SolarWinds IP Network Browser is the fastest and most thorough network discovery engine available. It allows you to scan perform a detailed network discovery on an entire IP address range and then post the discovered data directly to a web page. An additional feature of this powerful application is the ability to “right click” and view detailed MIB data on the discovered network devices. Network engineers now have real time access to VoIP tables, Frame Relay information as well as installed software. The IP Network Browser ships with a Management Information Base (MIB) database of over 150,000 Object ID’s (OID’s).
