Nimsoft Monitor for Routers and Switches

Your networks are increasingly complex and interconnected. Poor router and switch performance can choke otherwise healthy application infrastructure. Nimsoft Monitor for Routers and Switches automatically discovers and reports on the performance of your critical network infrastructure, allowing you to optimize network performance and maintain end user response times.

Monitor Expanding and Interconnected Networks

Rapid expansion of bandwidth-intensive applications increases network complexity. In order to keep up with the demands of business, you need to understand circuit capacity and traffic flow across critical network interfaces. Nimsoft Monitor for Routers and Switches automatically discovers device interfaces and monitors traffic to provide visibility into your network bandwidth utilization. Each interface is continuously analyzed to highlight trends or error conditions that may degrade data throughput and performance. This analysis accelerates error resolution, and allows proactive network optimization.

Key Features

Monitor Routers and Switches

Nimsoft Monitor makes it easy to monitor the performance of large, distributed network environments. Nimsoft Monitor gathers a wealth of availability and performance metrics—without requiring any agents or other software to be added to your network devices.

Nimsoft Monitor for Routers and Switches works on a broad set of devices and interfaces, and provides details on:

  • Interface/port status and bandwidth utilization
  • interface operational status
  • “Dead” lines (no traffic)
  • Discarded packets
  • Error packets
  • Queue length
  • Average traffic in/out
  • Average errors in/out
  • Routing tables and table queries
  • SNMP MIB object query
  • Interface auto discovery
  • “Profile-based” poll and alarm definition
  • Customizable alert messages
Technical Details

Traffic

  • Monitors the number of octets transmitted over the interface including framing characters.
  • Alerts when traffic exceeds % utilization or bytes/sec over a defined period of time.
  • Alerts when interface has ‘no’ traffic on inbound, outbound, or both interfaces over a defined period of time.

Errors

  • Monitors the number of packets that could not be transmitted because of errors.
  • Alerts when the number of packets (with errors) per second exceeds a defined threshold.

Discards

  • Monitors the number of discarded packets.
  • Alerts when the number of discarded packets/sec exceeds a defined threshold.

Queue Length

  • Monitors the length of the output packet queue (in packets).
  • Alerts when the number of packets in the queue exceeds a defined threshold.

State

  • Monitors the current operational state of the interface. A ‘down’ state indicates that no packets can be passed.
  • Alerts when interface is ‘expected to be up’, but instead is in down state.
  • Alerts when interface is ‘expected to be down’, but instead is in an up state.
