Discover and map all your networked devices in minutes
Understanding is a key weapon in a network manager’s arsenal. If you can’t locate every network connected device, system and comprehend the whole picture instantly, when something fails, where do you go? For automated network discovery, graphical network mapping and comprehensive network monitoring and management capabilities, turn to WhatsUp Gold.

Do you really know how many devices are connected to your IT network or what they all are? Do you have an accurate network diagram? Are you sure it’s up to date? Most importantly, does it help you see impending problems before they get out of control? WhatsUp Gold’s network discovery and network mapping lets you answer “Yes” to all this and more.

Discover the network from top to bottom
WhatsUp Gold's automated and rapid device discovery using wizard-based tools simplifies and makes discovery fool-proof, no matter the size or complexity of the network, in minutes. No need for stand-alone tools to manually document your network. If it is connected it will be found, legitimate or rogue. Regularly scheduled discovery scans can be configured to find assets or services added after the initial scan.

WhatsUp supports the following discovery mechanisms:

• Wizard-driven discovery
  • SNMP SmartScan
  • IP address range
  • Network Neighborhood
• IP address
• Hosts file import

Map the network with 360o Visibility
Once the network discovery is completed, WhatsUp Gold constructs hierarchical maps of the topology providing a 360o view to the network manager. WhatsUp ensures that a complete and accurate representation of the real network and application environment is provided. Correlation of monitors, alerts and actions to the topology maps ensures that if an event is occurring, it can be located, understood and controlled quickly.

Graphical network mapping in WhatsUp Gold lets you:

• Drill-down into network views showing sub-netting and virtualised LANs
• Establish critical device relationships and dependencies
• Customise network diagrams
• Import custom network maps and Visio diagrams
• Drag and drop device icons
• Group devices and applications or services by device commonality or business requirements
