Sometimes you probably think to yourself: “Self, why isn’t life easier?” I know I do. Thankfully for you network engineers and admins, life can be easier.

Nearly 5,000 users have already taken advantage of the new WhatsUp Gold Engineer’s Toolkit.  Its ease of implementation and uniform interface serve to reduce the time spent on mundane network engineering tasks.

Here are just a few ways the Engineer’s Toolkit can help:

The MAC Address Discovery Tool – This tool is great when you need to track down an issue with duplicate IPs on your network or if your organization filters traffic based on MAC addresses by capturing all of the addresses on a specific subnet and the associated IP address.

The NetFlow Configurator – The easy-to-use graphical interface of the NetFlow Configurator allows you to configure NetFlow on your Cisco devices, especially if you are short on time to locate and learn the appropriate CLI commands for manual enablement of NetFlow.

These two tools are just a few of the ways Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold aims to make your life easier. Now if only they had an Engineer’s Toolkit that could help with yardwork……
