Fluke Networks OptiView Network Analyzer

Device analysis
Get visibility into switches and routers located anywhere on the enterprise network. With this information, you can optimize network performance, improve efficiency and reduce costs while improving reliability and security.

Additionally, easily manage and validate infrastructure configurations when deploying SNMPv3 with the analyzers new capability of supporting configurable credential sets including authentication with and without privacy.

Multi-port switch statistics
In-depth analysis, including:

• A tabular view of all switch port configurations, including the identity of each host and where it is connected to the switch for both layer 2 and 3.
• A graphical view of utilization and error rates on each switch port to see over subscribed or errored ports at a glance.

Detect over-utilization, excessive errors, and locate inactive switch ports to determine if performance problems are related to link speed or duplex mis-configurations, or are related to the number of hosts on a port.

VLAN analysis
Determine if connectivity problems are related to VLAN configuration by seeing information such as:

• VLANs that are configured on the switch.
• Interfaces that are members of each VLAN.
• Identification of trunk or uplink ports together with the trunking protocol in use.
• Identification of which hosts are members of each VLAN.

Router and WAN link analysis
In-depth device analysis identifies Router ARP cache or routing table errors and also provides visibility to manage and troubleshoot costly WAN links. See WAN link configuration, a graphical display of utilization and error rates and identification of specific error types on ISDN, Frame Relay, T1/E1, T3 and ATM links.

Telnet and web browser links to allow reconfiguration of devices directly from the analyzer. Detailed HTML reports show switch configuration on a per port basis.
