WanSpy

WanSpy is designed to give network administrator a visual view of how their corporate WAN bandwidth is getting utilized.

In addition to online monitoring WAN link, WanSpy also facilitates network administrator to keep record of WAN usage. WanSpy is based on SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) accepted across industry for management of computer networks.

In a Cisco� router with IP accounting and SNMP enabled, the router will monitor the data on its WAN port. But the data displayed by the router will be raw and will be of little use to a network manager who wants to know the traffic on WAN link based on source IP address, destination IP address and number of packets transmitted.

WanSpy takes this raw data and displays it in a user friendly format based on source IP Address, destination IP address, number of packets & bytes transmitted and number of violations.

WanSpy displays various real time graphs for System, IP and Interface mib objects of Cisco's proprietary MIB and MIB II . which facilitate user to real time monitoring and troubleshooting.

WanSpy is able to add N number of Routers.

Here are some key features of "WanSpy":

￭ Display of data transferred by each host IP and host IP pair in terms of bytes and packets through Wan Link. ￭ Graphical display of percentage bandwidth utilization by each host IP and host IP pair. ￭ Graphical diaplay of graphs (IP traffic statistics, Interface statistics, Memory/CPU utilization and WAN bandwidth utilization) of any Cisco Router. ￭ Works in live mode (real-time mode) or work in background node to collect the statistics over a period of time (for inventory purposes). ￭ Generate alarm the network administrator based on configurable WAN bandwidth usage threshold. ￭ Exports various displayed table to screen, text file, MS excel format. ￭ Display Cisco running configuration and allow user to save the file on own hard disk. ￭ Allow User to configure Cisco router , user can change the login password and ￭ enable secret password of the router and configure the new password. ￭ Display ARP table that can either export to microsoft excel or text file or ￭ print or copy it to clipboard. ￭ Display Routing table that can either export to microsoft excel or text file or ￭ print or copy it to clipboard.
