Comprehensive Network Analysis With ManageWise 2.0
ManageWise provides network analysis, based on Novell's proven NetWare
LANalyzer software. It monitors the interaction among all network devices.
Supporting the RMON MIB and other network analysis features, ManageWise
lets you improve network reliability and performance from a single
location. You can then detect and troubleshoot hundreds of network
problems before they cause expensive downtime. Traffic analysis ManageWise
provides distributed analysis tools for management of network activity.
For example, ManageWise identifies the nodes that are generating the
heaviest demand on network resources and shows you exactly what the device
is doing to create that demand. ManageWise provides detailed information
on packet and data rates for the whole network, each station and each
individual conversation. This capability lets you identify overloaded
network devices, segments or users generating heavy traffic and rebalance
the network load. Detailed troubleshooting ManageWise monitors network
traffic and alerts you to potential problems, such as network overload,
network errors or duplicate IP addresses. After receiving these alerts,
you can direct ManageWise to begin capturingpackets. These can be stored
in server memory and then examined andinterpreted to show the state of each
station on the network.
Common network and protocol support
The network analysis capabilities of ManageWise include full packet capture
and decode and support the most common networks deployed today. These
include Ethernet, token ring and variants of these standards (for example,
100 Base T and 100 VG-AnyLAN). Along with supporting common hardware
standards, ManageWise supports common network protocols, including all
versions of NetWare and its IPX, TCP/IP, Appletalk and SNA.
