Fluke Optiview Console Network Analysis Software

 Make the most of your existingtools and systems.
OptiView Console can automatically discoverother tools and systems including Sniffers®, CiscoWorks® servers, RMON-enabled devices, and Fluke Networks tools to give you quick access to these devices and data sources. OptiView Console also integrates with OPNET® IT Guru, Concord® eHealth, and HP OpenView® Network Node Manager to complement, protect, and add value to your existing network management investment.

OptiView Console gives you more ways to look at your network:
Enterprise network overview
Get an at-a-glance summary of each of your remote OptiView Analyzers and see the network as they see it. How many devices are out there? What kinds of devices are they? What problems have they discovered? What is the bandwidth utilization on key LAN or WAN links? The remote hardware and software agents know, and now you know too.

Detailed device view
? Device types: key devices, servers, routers, switches, printers, RMON devices, and other devices including managed wireless access points
? Names: DNS, SNMP, IPX® login and NetBIOS® machine names
? Addresses: IP addresses and subnet masks, IPX, and MAC addresses
? Device services: switching, routing, email, Web, and print services
? Interfaces: type, speed, state, MTU, slot and port, VLAN ID, and virtual circuit descriptions
? Protocols: IP, IPX, and NetBIOS protocol and configuration information
? SNMP information: name, location, contact, and description

Interface trending view
Select a device and interface to see utilization, broadcasts, collisions, errors, and utilization peaks for the last hour, day, week, month, three months, six months, or one year. Granularity ranges from two minutes to 10 minutes depending on the selected history interval. Interfaces can be quickly sorted by I/F index, utilization, broadcasts, errors, or collisions. LAN and WAN errors, alarms and utilization details are available in the trending view along with interface configuration information.

Key device view
Gain one-click visibility into the status of all of your key devices. These devices can include servers, switches, routers, or any other device you choose. This view shows you the green/red, up/down status of each device, name and address information, as well as when the last state change occurred.

WAN visibility
OptiView WAN Analyzers act as a rich data source for OptiView Console. Once these analyzers are deployed on T1/E1, DS3/E3, OC3 or OC12 circuits, OptiView Console can begin to automatically import discovery, problem, and performance data. Using this data, OptiView Console can produce a variety of
WAN reports including:
? Top Applications, Conversations, Hosts, and Protocols
? Frame Relay, ATM, PPP/HDLC Link Usage
? Frame Relay and ATM Virtual Circuit Utilization
? Errors, Alarms, and Problem Logs
? Capacity Planning reports for ATM, PoS,Frame Relay, and PPP/HDLC
These WAN analyzers can also provide dozens of in-depth statistics including details like Frame Relay FECNs and BECNs, DE frames, LMI errors, Errored or Unavailable Seconds, Degraded Minutes, Line and Path AIS and RDI data, ATM Errors and Alarms, SONET Errors and Alarms, and much more. Armed with this information, you?ll see not only the status of your WAN links and how much traffic they are carrying, but also what that traffic is and whether or not it should be there. By clicking on a remote WAN analyzer, you can now go into live monitoring and analysis mode to quickly identify and resolve problems.

VLAN visibility
Most network analyzers and troubleshooting tools have limited visibility in today?s networks: usually a single broadcast domain or VLAN. OptiView Console, however, takes advantage of the VLAN Vision option on the OptiView Integrated Network Analyzer or OptiView Workgroup Analyzer which can extend network and device discovery beyond broadcast domain or VLAN boundaries. These analyzers act as data sources for OptiView Console, and their extended discovery information can be imported into OptiView Console for mapping and reporting.

RMON visibility
OptiView Console can use statistics from your RMON-enabled devices to provide you with a variety of views including:
? Utilization
? Errors
? Top Users and Top User Matrix
? Top Applications
? Network and Application Layer Hosts
? Network and Application Layer Matrix
? Ethernet History

Automated reporting and mapping
OptiView Console can greatly reduce manual report generation, asset discovery and management, and network diagramming time and effort. In addition to the WAN reports
mentioned previously, other reports include:
? IP, IPX, and NetBIOS Inventories
? Switch Detail
? Switch Performance
? Utilization Sources
? Trended Utilization Sources
? Top Interfaces by Utilization, Collision, Error, or Broadcast Rate
? Protocol Mix
? VLAN Vision
This fast, easy, and accurate documentation can be generated on-demand or at a user-defined, scheduled interval. Reports canbe saved in a variety of formats such asAdobe® Acrobat, Crystal Reports, HTML, XML, Microsoft® Excel, Microsoft Word, and comma-separated. Archived reports and maps can be viewed remotely using OptiView Console?s built-in Web Reporter. OptiView Console works seamlessly with your Microsoft Visio mapping software to create maps showing the links between your servers, routers, hosts, switches and hubs. Map generation is fast and easy. Just select the map you want and OptiView Console does the rest. The following network maps are available:
? Server Connections in a Switched Network
? Router Connections in a Switched Network
? Switch (Spanning Tree) Diagram
? Fluke Networks Tool Connections in a Switched Network
? Printer Connections in a Switched Network
? Single Switch Detail
- Printers
- Hosts
- Routers, Switches, and Servers
? WAN Link Virtual Circuits
? Connections for VLAN (by device type)
