Wizards are provided to guide you through the setup and configuration
of Network Supervisor parameters.
The Wizards often suggest useful default settings which can help you
start monitoring your network even when you are not sure which values
to set.
Network Supervisor brings you the following major benefits to help you
manage your network. These are:
Color-Coded View of Your Network Connectivity
Real-Time Detailed Stress Monitoring
Total Visibility of Network Activity
Immediate Notification of Problems
Using Network Supervisor's graphical map and intelligent monitoring you
can quickly identify problem areas and overloaded links on your network.
The map shows the devices and connections on your network, including
the links attaching the hubs, switches and routers to PCs. This provides an
instant, color-coded view of the state of your network.
Network Supervisor's map also provides physical connectivity information
for your network.
Good monitoring involves examining a combination of available
bandwidth, generated errors, service availability and service response
times.
Using Network Supervisor's monitoring and alerts system, you are free to
run your business, while Network Supervisor watches the important parts
of your network and informs you if anything goes wrong.
Stress monitoring provides you with a performance measures of a
network object (a device or link) against pre-defined thresholds.
Network devices such as switches are monitored for their own internal
performance and for their external communication performance with
other devices. End stations are monitored for response time and service
availability.
