SolarWinds Network Topology Mapper

SolarWinds Network Topology Mapper is a complex and efficient software solution whose main function resides in helping you map out your entire network, providing you with the means of discovering which devices are connected to it, with as little effort entailed for you as possible.

Subsequent to the fairly quick and uneventful setup procedure, you can run a quick scan and determine the items in your LAN right away.

Should you first wish to get accustomed to it, you can access the sample data and get an overview of how your scan result would look like or how the information would be presented.

In order to perform a new scan, you firstly need to input a series of credentials that will grant you access to the devices in your LAN. By means of an intuitive wizard, you can input the ‘SNMP Credentials’, ‘WMI Credentials’ and ‘VMWare Credentials’.

The next step consists of the ‘Network Selection’, where you can enter the targeted ‘Subnets’,’IP Ranges’ and ‘Free-form IPs’, while also letting you define a ‘Do-Not-Scan List’, to exclude certain objects from the scan.

Subsequently, you can input the job name and the number of hops, keeping in mind that you are recommended to use none. Optionally, you can ignore nodes which only respond to ICMP.

Moreover, SolarWinds Network Topology Mapper allows you to run the task once or on a preferred frequency, daily, weekly or monthly, as well as on a custom schedule, letting you indicate the precise time when it should be executed, thus sparing you from constantly having to repeat the same actions.

To conclude, SolarWinds Network Topology Mapper is a useful and reliable application that can assist you in successfully mapping your LAN, enabling you to obtain an up-to-date account of all the connected devices.
