The Network Discovery tools were
some of the first tools developed by SolarWinds. The majority
of the discovery tools use SNMP protocol to collect information on
the devices in the network. With the discovery tools below
you can discover something as specific as a reverse DNS error
(using DNS AUDIT) to the entire enterprise of thousands of networks
(using Network Sonar). The Discovery Engine embedded in our IP
Network Browser and Network Sonar is one to the fastest, most
extensive discovery engines on the market.
The following is a brief overview of
the Network Discovery tools available from SolarWinds.Net:
|
|
|
|
DNS Audit scans a range or IP
Addresses and performs Forward and Reverse Look-up. Reverse DNS
errors are quickly identified. DNS Audit supports both DNS and WINS
resolution.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SolarWinds IP Address Management can
be used to actively monitor which IP addresses are in use on your
network. It can also be used to allocate IP addresses before they
are used. IP Address Management will automatically monitor the IP
addresses within many subnets and report on their usage.

The fastest, most thorough,
interactive TCP/IP network browser available. Redesigned to take
advantage of Windows 2000. IP Network Browser performs
detailed network discovery via SNMP and displays the results in a
very easy to understand format. Pound for pound, the best
discovery engine available.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MAC Address Discovery can correlate
IP Addresses and Physical Interface Addresses.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ICMP, SNMP, DNS discovery engine
creates a detailed discovery database of your network.
Benchmarked as the fastest and most comprehensive TCP/IP network
discovery available. Network Sonar can also create a Microsoft
Access database during the discovery.

|
|
|
|
|
|
IP Network Discovery via PING sweeps
across an entire range of IP Addresses. Ping Sweep displays IP
addresses that are in use (or not in use). Also supports reverse
DNS lookup for each address.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Port Scanner from SolarWinds can
remotely discover the status of IP ports on devices. You can
specify a range of IP addresses to be included in the scan. You can
select the ports to be scanned either by specifying a Quick List of
port numbers, or by selecting ports from a listing of ports that
includes their commonly used purpose.

|
|
|

|
|
SNMP Sweep is a combination of a
Ping Sweep and SNMP Discovery tool. Similar to Ping Sweep,
SNMP Sweep scans an IP Address range for responding devices and
then discovers details about each device via SNMP

Need to "Scope out" a network
fast? With Subnet List you can quickly discover all Subnets
and Masks on a network
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Switch Port Mapper from
SolarWinds can remotely discover the devices connected to each port
on your switches/hubs. Additionally, the Switch Port Mapper
discovers the MAC address, IP Address, and Hostname of the
connected devices as well as details about each port.
