Network Discovery

Once the technician has confirmed basic connectivity to the network, they may have

the need to discover what devices are on the network. Using active and passive dis-

covery methods from an individual Ethernet drop, the technician can discovery a

wide range of devices both within the users subnetwork and beyond. Presented with

a graphical view of the discovered devices, the technician can drill into details about

specific network elements. By configuring Simple Network Management Protocol

(SNMP) password strings, network devices can be queried and the various details can

be viewed by the technician. Any obvious problems in the network will be highlighted

to the user.
Once the user drills into details about a specific element they can view details such as

MAC/IP addresses. If SNMP is enabled on the network additional information such

as interface utilization, packet rates, and errors can be viewed.
