Automated discovery processes continuously watch for and classify new network inventory by device type. You have the flexibility to reclassify devices as necessary.
How can a time-strapped network management team head-off problems before they occur? By creating a self-aware network to proactively seek out change, employing intelligent operations that:
- constantly monitor the entire network to show accurate, current and persisted network conditions at all times. Other products only show alerts that occur after the client is launched.
- auto-attendant features run continuously in the background, 24x7.
- accept syslog messages and SNMP traps from previously undiscovered devices, then automatically update maps and inventory
- listen for new device DHCP/BOOTP broadcasts on the local subnet and immediately adding them to maps and inventory.
- automatically test new devices for SNMP using existing community strings
A self-aware network starts with discovery and dopplerVUE discovery starts immediately upon installation. It then runs continuously even when the client window is closed. dopplerVUE features:
- automatic, scheduled and on-demand discovery jobs.
- high-speed subnet discovery in just minutes.
- full use of the dopplerVUE client while discovery runs in the background.
- multiple management protocol discovery including SNMP and ICMP.
- services discovery, such as DNS, HTTP(s), POP3, SMTP, FTP and Telnet.
- discovery of host connectivity to switch ports via IP to MAC address relationships.
- IPv4 and IPv6 equipment discovery.
- discovery sweeps can include or exclude specific devices or portions of the network.
- remote site discovery.
dopplerVUE discovery is not an add-on service; it is completely integrated into network operations.
- No need to draw maps manually since they are auto-generated completely from discovery.
- Discovery automatically updates the inventory tree.
- Devices are automatically classified by type and can be reclassified easily if desired.
- Performance polling of SNMP-enabled devices begins automatically.
- easily extend discovery processes to additional networks using seeded routers. Simply enter a router’s IP addresses and dopplerVUE reads the routing table to learn about devices in the network
