Progress® WhatsUp® Gold allows you to automatically create interactive network topology maps using Layer 2 and Layer 3 detection methods.
As redes atuais são grandes, dinâmicas e formam a espinha dorsal da continuidade de negócios. Manter o melhor desempenho e a saúde da rede, bem como para uma melhor solução de problemas operacionais, a fim de garantir a continuidade dos negócios, uma visão abrangente da rede é essencial – e um mapa de topologia de rede pode fornecer isso.
Ao visualizar os dispositivos da rede, suas interconexões, localização e interdependências, os administradores podem monitorar dispositivos de rede, identificar proativamente falhas/gargalos e reduzir o MTTR, garantindo assim uma melhor recuperação/negócios de desastres continuidade. Além disso, um mapa de topologia detalhado agora é essencial para regulamentos de conformidade como o PCI-DSS.
A ferramenta de descoberta e mapeamento do WhatsUp Gold usa métodos de descoberta da Camada 2 e da Camada 3 para criar mapas abrangentes de topologia de rede mostrando todos os elementos da rede, incluindo roteadores, switches, VLANs, servidores físicos e virtuais e estações de trabalho. A ferramenta vem com um alto grau de personalização, e qualquer aspecto da topologia e links individuais pode ser oculto/exibido.
Os recursos incorporados incluem arrastar-drop funcionalmente; exibição da correlação do monitor de dispositivos exibida no mapa; exibindo detalhes do dispositivo como atributos e status ao lado do ícone do dispositivo; e uma escolha de pontos de vista falado/hierárquico/personalizado. Correlacionando Com a camada 3 endereçando-se aos mapas da Camada 2, o WhatsUp Gold fornece um mapa de topologia abrangente e integrado da Camada 2/3 que mostra conectividade ip e nível de interface.
Automated discovery removes the guesswork and manual labor traditionally required to map complex networks, saving time and reducing human error. IT teams benefit from instant, accurate visibility into every connected device and how they interact, empowering faster onboarding, easier audits, and streamlined change management. This level of automation increases operational efficiency and frees up resources for more strategic initiatives.
Real-time monitoring gives IT teams the ability to stay ahead of issues before they become service-impacting problems. With instant visibility into device performance and status, teams can proactively respond to bottlenecks, outages, or irregular traffic. This reduces downtime and MTTR and maintains a more reliable user experience, reinforcing trust in IT services and reducing business disruptions.
Seamless integration with other network tools creates a more unified and efficient IT ecosystem. Teams gain a holistic view of the network, combining topology data with performance metrics, alerts, and logs in one place. This reduces silos, accelerates troubleshooting, and enhances overall decision-making. It ultimately lead to better service delivery and more strategic IT operations.
WhatsUp Gold’s automated network topology mapper utilizes a combination of discovery methods, including SNMP, ARP, ICMP, SSH, LLDP, and vendor-specific protocols, to identify all connected devices and their interconnections. This approach helps to maintain a comprehensive and accurate representation of the network's physical and logical topology.
You can automatically generate topology maps that update in real-time as the network evolves. This dynamic network mapping capability allows administrators to visualize current network configurations and quickly identify changes or issues.
Identify and map dependencies between devices, enabling the suppression of redundant alerts. For example, if a core switch fails, the system recognizes that downstream devices are affected due to this failure, helping to prevent multiple unnecessary alerts and aiding in faster root cause analysis.
WhatsUp Gold network mapping software offers the ability to tailor network maps with custom images, annotations, and organizational layouts. Administrators can create views that align with specific monitoring needs or organizational structures, enhancing clarity and usability.
A network topology refers to the arrangement of devices and how they connect and communicate within a network. Understanding your network topology is crucial for managing performance, planning capacity, and troubleshooting issues efficiently.
Network topology mapping software automatically discovers connected devices and visualizes how they’re linked, using protocols like SNMP, ARP, and LLDP. It creates interactive maps that reflect both physical and logical layouts, updating dynamically as your network changes.
Topology maps provide real-time visibility into device status and interdependencies, helping teams quickly pinpoint the root cause of network issues. Instead of reacting to multiple alerts, admins can trace the problem to a single failed connection or device and reduce Mean Time to Repair (MTTR).
Layer 2 mapping shows the physical connections between devices—like switches, access points, and VLANs, while Layer 3 focuses on logical IP-level connections such as routing paths. Combining both gives a complete view of how data flows across the network.
Businesses use topology maps to document their infrastructure for audits, track device inventory, and demonstrate security controls. For regulations like PCI-DSS or HIPAA, this level of visibility maintains network segmentation and access controls are properly implemented and maintained.
