The more your network
changes, the more you need to improve network vision and control.
Today’s networks are typically very stable. The problem is they aren’t
static. Management and users are constantly demanding new technologies, new
services, and better performance, which inevitably require changing
infrastructure, deploying new applications, and dealing with security. And in
the process you need to control IT costs and minimize disruption to your
organization. That means you need to be able to clearly see all aspects of your
network to accurately assess the impact of adding new technologies and services
and to make sure it is delivering maximum performance with what you already
have.
It’s not easy.
But the powerful new Fluke Networks
OptiView Network Analyzer gives you a clear view of your entire enterprise
- providing visibility into every piece of hardware, every application, and
every connection on your network. No other tool offers this much
vision and all-in-one capability to help you:
- Deploy new technologies and applications.
- Manage and validate infrastructure changes.
- Solve network and application performance issues.
- Secure network from internal threats.
It shows you where your network stands today and helps you accurately
assess its readiness for the changes you need to make.
Portable
and Rack Models OptiView Series III Network Analyzers are available
in two form factors to give you a clear view of your entire enterprise –
providing visibility into every piece of hardware, every application, and every
connection on your network. Choose the Integrated Network Analyzer for
portable, all-in-one analysis or the Workgroup Analyzer for permanent or
semi-permanent deployment in the core or at remote sites. Or, use them together
to create a powerful combination – a troubleshooting tool for the access layer
and an analyzer watching the core, remote site or critical network
point.
Traffic analysis at the touch of a
button The OptiView Series III provides real-time statistics for
traffic on the wire which enables the user to understand how network resources
are being used and increase user satisfaction with faster response times for
networked applications.

Quickly
and easily identify top talkers, multicasters and broadcasters or select top
conversations to determine which hosts may be over utilizing resource
bandwidth. Determine who is using server bandwidth by viewing top
conversations to a single host.

Analyze
protocol mix to identify top protocols being used and also discover unwanted and
custom protocols and see which protocols are being used by each host.

Application
traffic analysis Automatically discover all protocols and sub
protocols from the MAC layer to the application layer. This enables IT staff to
identify applications utilizing link bandwidth including those that use
dynamically assigned port numbers to see and validate the impact of applications
on bandwidth usage and also identify to use of illicit applications.
Perform application analysis in real-time on Gigabit links and determine the
specific endpoints (server, host) using that application. Plus, perform a layer
3 or layer 2 trace route to identify the switch or router interface to which the
endpoint is connected for each application. Differentiate between specific
audio, video, image, and data applications, and show the level of bandwidth
usage of each, including:
- HTTP traffic to: database, application, audio, image, text, video, x-world
(VRML)
- HTTP applications to 58 applications: such as Lotus® Notes, Microsoft®
Word, RealAudio®, Adobe®, Liquid Audio, etc.
- RealNetworks® RDT into audio, video, data
- RTSP into embedded media and session control
- VoIP
- RTP video and audio and sub-classification on whether set-up through
H.323, SIP, RTSP, Skinny
- VoIP call signaling and call control for H.323, SIP, and Cisco Skinny
- H.323 VoIP and videoconferencing
- SAP R/3 classified into service manager, app server, and gateway
- Oracle®
- Connection manager
- Connection Manager Gateway
- Oracle VP
- Oracle TNS
- MS ODBC
- MS OLE
- Oracle SQL Plus
- Oracle Forms
- PeopleSoft
- Instant Messenger (AOL and MSN)
- KaZaA® Downloads
Advanced discovery techniques finds devices,
networks and problems in seconds. As soon as the analyzer is
connected to the network, it automatically begins to discover devices on the
network, with no interaction required, by monitoring traffic and actively
querying hosts. IT staff can immediately see what is on the network and where it
is connected, by switch, slot and port number. They can investigate and quickly
locate “suspect” devices and with minimum effort identify problems associated
with device mis-configurations.

The
analyzer categorizes devices into interconnect (routers, switches, SNMP hubs and
access points), servers, printers, SNMP agents and other hosts.
Additionally, networks are classified by IP Subnets (both IPv4 and IPv6), VLANs,
NetBIOS Domains and IPX Networks, together with host membership within each
classification. Network devices that may be experiencing problems are also
discovered. Examples of problems detected are: duplicate IP addresses, incorrect
subnet masks, default router not responding and many more.
The analyzer's active discovery capability has now been
extended to Cisco, Nortel, Avaya and Mitel VoIP devices such as IP phones and
call managers. Device capabilities and configurations may be viewed, allowing
the user to easily identify and correct configuration issues during VoIP
deployment.
The IT staff user can add a device to Key Devices and the
analyzer will automatically test connectivity from the attached segment to that
device by performing an IP or IPX ping. A key device that fails to respond, will
show up in the Problem Discovery as “Key Device not responding,” providing you
with at-a-glance monitoring of critical network devices. The analyzer can
also be configured to perform a discovery on an off-broadcast domain subnet to
provide visibility of devices at remote sites.
Generate up-to-date HTML
format inventory reports of devices both on the attached network and also on
networks at remote sites.
Trace SwitchRoute
Trace SwitchRoute allows you to see the exact path two
devices use to communicate through your switch fabric. Trace SwitchRoute begins
its discovery from the specified Source Device and traces the path to the
specified Target Device. For each switch in the path, the displayed results
include the DNS name and IP address, the inter switch connections by port
number, together with link speed and VLAN information. Highlighting any device
in the Trace SwitchRoute name column and selecting Host Detail allows you to
view that device’s network configuration information.The Trace SwitchRoute
feature now incorporates layer 3 trace route information.

GLC-SC-Mm Module
Cisco's industry-standard SFP is a hot-swappable input/output device
that plugs into a Gigabit Ethernet port/slot, linking the port with the
fiber-optic network. SFPs can be used and interchanged on a wide variety of
Cisco products and can be intermixed in combinations of IEEE 802.3z- compliant
1000BaseSX, 1000BaseLX/LH, or 1000BaseZX interfaces on a port-by-port
basis.
The Cisco GLC-SX-MM operates on ordinary multi-mode fiber
optic link spans of up to 550 m in length.
The industry-standard Cisco GLC SX MM Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP)
Gigabit Interface Converter is a hot-swappable input/output device that plugs
into a Gigabit Ethernet port or slot, linking the port with the network (Figures
1 and 2). SFPs can be used and interchanged on a wide variety of Cisco products
and can be intermixed in combinations of 1000BASE-T, 1000BASE-SX,
1000BASE-LX/LH, 1000BASE-EX, 1000BASE-ZX, or 1000BASE-BX10-D/U on a port-by-port
