Network mapping tools?

Hi Everyone,
I have a medium enviroment with 2 x Cat4500 switches and 50 x Cat3650 plus few Cat3750 switches. I'm looking for a network mapping tool which can help me to map all the network equipment so I can easy to manage or trouble shoot the network. It doesn't matter if it's free or paid but something I can try first before buy. I've tried Cisco Works but it was kind complicate and too much work for it so I just don't like it at this moment.
Thanks.

I think solar winds has a tool..land surveyor. Not sure if it's free or not..might want to search.

Issues configuring network-ups-tools with Powerware 5110

Been using Arch for about 24hrs now (It replaced RHEL5 which was running for 18mths) and I'm very impressed. Have found it very good for a new user, the extensive wiki's have been a huge help to get things going. Under RHEL I really needed to do a lot of google searching to get things working but have only had to do it twice for the same build under Arch. I was able to fix the first issue (wTorrent wiki missed install of php-sqlite) and now network-ups-tools.
I had it working 100% under RHEL so its not a device/hardware issue that I can see. But under Arch I keep getting connection lost messages after starting the ups daemon.
System can see a USB device

Sure, it was put there by the package retrieved from the default repo by pacman as was everything else. All I did was modify a few files in /etc/ups so all user/permissions etc should be setup correctly by the package?

Bug in exists() function of XI Graphical Mapping Tool?

Hi!
If I connect a source field with the exists() function in XI Graphical Mapping Tool and the tag exists it returns TRUE, otherwise it returns FALSE, so everything works as expected.
But I have to connect a user-defined function with exists(). The user-defined function will either calculate a value or set Resultset.SUPPRESS.
If there is a value the exits() function returns TRUE, however if Resultset.SUPPRESS is set it does also return TRUE! This looks to me like a bug in exists() function. Shouldn't it always return FALSE if the input is Resultset.SUPPRESS?
Regards, Tanja

Hi Stefan!

Ok, so it's not a bug and the exists() function is working as expected.
> If you want the exist() function after a UDF, provide
> an empty queue, or easier: return the values "true"
> or "false" directly from the UDF.
Yes, that's how I actually solved the problem. The UDF was used at several places where the ResultList.SUPPRESS output was needed. So I copied the UDF and changed it so that the output was TRUE or FALSE instead.

Printer unavailable on wireless network map

My D110 is discovered but cannot be placed on network map. . . When installing software for wireless detection of printer, it cannot find it even with address of printer provided within software. I tried unistalling and re-installing but the unistall app aborts??? Any ideas? The wireless network test reports no problems found and yet the software isn't completely installed (Solution Center indicates incomplete installation) . . . I spent an hour chat with HP tech with no results!! Help!

So the Wireless Network Test shows it is connected to your network and no problems? In that case, the issue is in your printer or router.
What router? What operating system? If Windows, Download and run this utility: http://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/Nav?h_pagetype=s-926&h_lang=en&h_client=s-h-e17-1&h_keyword=dg-NDU&ju...

EA4500 – Smart Wi-Fi interface and Windows Network Map issues

I purchased this Router about 2 weeks ago as a phased upgrade of our Home Network, primarily to enhance media streaming. It has the latest firmware preinstalled from the factory. Prior to the purchase and installation of the EA4500 Router I replaced my old Motorola SurfBoard SB6120 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem with a Motorola SurfBoard SB6141 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem. My old Linksys E2000 Router worked perfectly with the SB6141, with the exception that the E2000 wasn’t IPv6 enabled, but does have 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet (RJ-45) and Internet ports.
The EA4500 has been installed for about 10 days and seems to have improved local network speeds and I don’t seem to be having any Internet connectivity issues. However, there are some disturbing issues with the EA4500 and the AE3000 I purchased. There are 11 devices connected through the Router; a Dell Desktop (wireless with the AE3000), a Dell Desktop (Ethernet), a Dell Laptop (wireless), 2 Canon Printers (1 Ethernet and 1 Wireless), 2 Western Digital 1TB MyBookLive Network Drives (both Ethernet), a WD TV Live Streaming Media Player (wireless), an Apple TV media player (wireless), an iPad (wireless), and an Android Smartphone (wireless).
Issue 1 – The Linksys Smart Wi-Fi interface appears to be unreliable at times!!! I’ve read about this problem here on the Community involving the EA6500, so I don’t know if this is a Linksys Server issue, as suggested in a few responses, or a bug in the Router firmware, or defective hardware. However, when the interface locks up, it can’t be accessed from a wireless or wired connection. Usually, powering down the Router and then powering it back up and restart will allow it to function again. However, at times before the interface completely locks up it shows either just a white screen or the security screen will show no firewall features enabled. This is a little scary, so I’ll do a complete reset and setup; this is becoming a pain in the rear!!!!! Is there any hope for this being fixed, in this Router, not the next generation??????????
Issue 2 - All of my network devices show up in the Router’s Device List. Except for the Apple devices they also show up, when they are online, in Windows 7 Explorer under Network and when you click on Network they are correctly displayed as Computers, Media Devices, Network Infrastructure, or Storage. However, when you click on “Open Network and Sharing Center” and then click on “See Full Map”; it fails with the response “Windows cannot create the network map. Responses from other devices on the network are delayed or there is an incompatible router on the network”; no device map is shown. When I follow the link for more information, the only thing that stands out is “A device on the network, such as a hub or switch, is not working properly or is not compatible with the Link Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) protocol, which Windows uses to create the map. To fix this problem, disable the device, turn it off, or remove it from your network”. All of my network devices showed up on the Network Map with the old E2000. This issue is the same on all of my computers, either wired or wireless. Any known solutions for this, or is it as Windows suggests; an incompatible Router????
Thanks in advance for any insight or solutions. With the issues I’m having with the EA4500 and the AE3000; they are both probably going back to Amazon.

thebluemamba_24; Thank you for your suggestion; I finally found time yesterday to perform an extensive evaluation before I return the Router. However, rather than trying to add devices manually, my rationale was if the EA4500 can’t process them correctly, automatically, it needs to be returned anyway, so I added devices normally letting the device an Router handle the process.
In thinking through this issue, all devices on our network are detected and identified by Windows Explorer on Windows 7 computers; except of course the Apple and Android devices (Apple TV, iPad, and Smartphone). So, I wondered if one of those three devices being added to the Router’s device list was somehow causing issues or interfering with Windows 7’s ability to generate a Network Map. Therefore, my approach was to turn off or disable all devices on our network, reset the Router to factory defaults, reestablish the Router to my custom Home Network configuration using a Windows 7 PC that has LAN and Wireless access to the Router, then add one device at a time and check with each addition to see if Windows 7 could still generate a Network Map.
With the Router reset and reestablishment complete; I began the process of adding one device at a time and checking to see if a Network Map was being generated. What I discovered was when a recent addition to the network, a Western Digital WD TV Live Streaming Media Player, was connected (wirelessly), Windows 7 could no longer generate the Network Map and the failure was consistent. The only way to get the Network Map to work again was to remove power from the WD TV Live, although it remained in the EA4500’s Device List; simply turning it off didn’t help. Since I’d originally witnessed the Windows 7 Network Map working with the Linksys E2000 Router that the EA4500 replaced, I decided to test the WD TV Live with that Router. It worked initially, but it failed consistently after the first success. Interestingly, the failure indication was a little different, but nevertheless generation of the Network Map failed.
I’ve tried changing a few settings on the EA4500 as well as the WD TV Live, but nothing helped. There was a recent firmware update to the WD TV Live, so I might try rolling back the firmware to see if it makes a difference.
The Network Map issue might very well be an issue with the WD TV Live, not the Router, but after reading many threads on this Community I have reservations that the problems I’m experiencing with the Smart interface lockup will be fixed. I suspect new emerging replacement products will be the focus and these older products will be abandoned and no more firmware fixes will be forthcoming and I don’t want to spend more money for a new product just to fix old problems and get something that works properly. The Network Map issue is troublesome, but the lockup of the Router’s “Linksys Smart Wi-Fi” interface is a serious matter to me. It appears that once it locks up, the only way to correct it is a power off restart; not practical if you’re traveling and trying to access settings remotely; the selling point for this feature.
Given the problems I’m experiencing with the EA4500 and AE3000, I guess I’ll return them. Too bad, because otherwise the EA4500 seems like it’s a good Router. I’ve been brand loyal since the Linksys WRT54G came out, but after reading this Community and with my personal experience with the EA4500 and AE3000, now I’ll probably give the NETGEAR N900 equivalents a try.

What is the best product for network mapping and monitoring? I am an inexperienced user). Mac 10.9.2 laptop

I have lots of questions, but the gist is that I want to know the best product, preferably from the app store, that I can use for network mapping mapping and monitoring.
I want to get their mac address or other police trackable etc info so I can use my computer safely.
I am also being cyberbullied.
I try just using ethernet but still get intruded on, for instance, messages that "other devices are using my ip address". The only other device I own is an iPod that I keep sahut off plus wifi turned off then.
(NOTE: You can skip the rest of this message if you want. It regards hacking attempts etc, a little out of the scope of discussion, perhaps).
Also a home intrusion where computer was thoroughly hacked with router(s) set up "very very close to me," according to Apple.
Also, hackers get into my Facebook and gmail and yahoo mail, really, no matter what I try to do on my computer and how many times I change passwords it does no good.
Also, The ip addresses for google and the one in syste preferences and the one looking up my ip address on ip chicken always gets three different results.
More worrisome it that hackers got into my Wells Fargo account a week after the intrusion even though I changed all account #'s and pw plus notified bank. They also broke into paypal using my new account numbers.
Also, stuff like Facetime pops up on my computer without my clicking on it even though I'm using ethernet to connect. I've given up on Time Capsule because I'm told that's how the hackers hacked my computer so thoroughly duriung the intrusion.
Thanks.

Aubry,
why don't you send your sequences straight to Compressor first, encode your movies as MPEG 2 and AC3 audio and import all assets in DVD studio PRO?

Mapping tool creates new columns one at a time

Hi All,
I'm using Kodo 3.2.2 with MySql 4.1. I have a fairly large table (over
2million rows) representing one persistent class. I need to add several
new fields to the object, which will require a refresh mapping on the
database to add new columns for the fields.
It seems when I run refresh mapping on the database, Kodo is adding each
new field individually in seperate ALTER TABLE statements, rather than
adding all the columns in one ALTER TABLE statement.
With MySQL and large tables, this can really increase the time required to
refresh the mapping - I've tried with MSSQL and that database must handle
ALTER TABLE commands differently because it doesn't take a fraction of the
time that MySQL takes.
Is this a bug (I doubt it), but rather a feature improvement?
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Brendan

Thanks Abe for the reply - I've been meaning to look at the process of
creating SQL scripts to perform the refresh mappings on our databases.
I'll have a look at this process before we talk contracting!
Thanks,
Brendan
Abe White wrote:
Unfortunately, we don't have any immediate plans to optimize ALTER TABLEsince
it's not a runtime operation, and as you say most DBs don't have a problemwith
it. Also, note that the documentation shows how to get Kodo to create SQL
scripts rather than directly modify the DB; you could easily edit thescripts
Kodo generates to make them more efficient before piping the SQL to MySQLusing
its client app. (Note that Kodo 3.3 introduces the ability to generate SQL
scripts directly from the mapping tool, rather than having to take an extrastep
through the schema tool).
If getting Kodo to combine ALTER statements is important to you, you couldalso
contact [email protected] about contracting us to expedite this work.

Windows 7 64bit indexing network mapped drive

Hi people,
I've spent a lot of time with windows indexing on mapped drive. But without result. I've tried install hotfix, but nothing happens, Add-in works only for 32bit system, but I use 64bit. Using of symbolic link in library is without result too. I don't know,
why MS released add-in only for 32bit. Could you help me, how to solve this problem?
Thanks

Hi,
Have you tried the methods in following thread?

Device Connected But Not Showing Up In Network Map

Network Magic Version: 5.5.9195.0
Connection: Cable
Modem: Linksys WRT54GS2
Firmware: 1.0.02 build 007, Jan 21, 2010
Problem Device: Blu-ray, wireless
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1
Anti-virus/Firewall/Spyware: Microsoft Security Essentials/Windows Defender/Spybot
Website Issues: I can visit any site
My blu-ray is connected to my network. I know this because I have no issue streaming Netflix. However, it is not showing up on my network map.
How do I fix this?

Oh! And here's another weird thing. My nephew was visiting yesterday, helping me move furniture and he asked could he get on my wifi. I opened the network lock and put the password in his phone myself and it never gave me a notification that he had connected. Later, my dad came over and when his phone connected to my wifi, it let me know that he had connected. Wonder what's different about these 3 devices (blu-ray, 2 iphones). None were listed in the network map before I allowed them to connect yesterday.

Computer not showing up in Network Map

Hi,
Running NM 5.5.9195.0-Pure0/Platform 11.2.9195.1 through a DLINK DIR 655 Cable (Comcast) Modem Hardware Version A3 and Firmware 1.21. Connected wired to Dell Desktop Windows Vista 32bit. via Intel(R) 82566DC-2 Gigabit Network Connection. Home network consists of another Dell desktop (wired) and two identical Dell Laptops (Dell XPS M1530), Canon M6590 Network printer (wired) and a Hawking HWNREN1 300N range extender (wireless). All computers have Norton Internet Security 2010.
The map in network magic shows all computers and devices with the exception of one laptop when it is powered off. As I said above, the two Dell Laptops are identical. When both laptops are powered up, they are displayed. If both laptops are powered off, only one remains visible in the map (it shows a "dimmed" dotted connection line to the central modem in the map).
I can not figure out why the other laptop is not displayed in the map when it is powered off.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

XSLT mapping tool

Hi All,
I am abap consultant, so its difficult to write a XSLT mapping program.
Is there any XSLT mapping tool available on net to use free?
Which can take source XML & Target XML and upon doing graphical mapping
it generates the XSLT mapping program between source & target XML.
Regards

Rohan,
Is there any XSLT mapping tool available on net to use free?
Yes, Stylus Studio and Altova have free download-able tool for XSL Mapping.
Which can take source XML & Target XML and upon doing graphical mapping
it generates the XSLT mapping program between source & target XML.
I don't think there is any tool which will make use of graphical mapping to create an XSL Mapping.
But the point is, if you are creating a graphical mapping, why you need XSL?

Different mapping tools in the market -- For BPM mapping in XI

Hi All
     I am more intersted in learning the BPM mapping tools(3rd party or any)
     Can any list out the different tools and which are the best ?
     Our company looking forward to implement XI (BPM's) with mapping tools
    Can any help me on this
Regards
Rakesh

Hi Rakesh,
plz have a look to <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/14/80243b4a66ae0ce10000000a11402f/frameset.htm">SAP Library: SAP Exchange Infrastructure</a> for understanding XI, BPM and Mappings.
BPM has no special mapping tool. You can use Java, ABAP, XSLT and graphical Mapping (Message Mapping) at XI, for any case - BPM or not. 3rd Party has nothing to do with BPM or Mapping. That means a non SAP system.

Udo

Windows can't create a network map/appearance of B...

Hi
I have had BT infinity for somewhat over a month now without any problems, until yesterday. That I am aware of two things have changed but in what order they changed I do not know.
'Firstly' I connected a brand new but several years old i.e. unused, LG 1T network drive and tried to get through the software installation process without success (can't create acceptable login details ). However I could see etc. the drive if I typed its network address into a browser's address window. BUT at that point the Windows network map started breaking. That was yesterday and I have, for the moment, removed the drive and deleted its info from the Homehub 5b.
Today I noticed that two new wireless networks have appeared, BTWifi-X and BTWifi-with-Fon. These appear and disappear as and when my homehub is switched on and off and, given what I have read, I assume these are the hotspot networks I am providing.
If I have my laptop connected to the homehub via LAN, Windows can create a network map providing no other computer is connected via WAN. Conversely when any computer is simultaneously connected to the homehub via WAN Windows loses the ability to create a network map, this includes the situation where one computer is connected via WAN and LAN. I often use my employer's WAN when at work and frequently forget to switch the WAN off, meaning that when I come home the laptop is initially often connected via WAN and LAN. That I am aware of, Windows has not previously had a problem creating a network map when this has happened.
There does not seem to be a problem if my phone (android) is connected to the homehub via WAN or if I have two computers connected to the homehub via only WAN nor if two computers are connected to the home hub via only LAN
One other thing I have also noticed is that the network map, when created, seems to contain, at times, a switch, a hub, Homehub5 and BThub5**** as if there a multitude of connectors.
I would like to get back the ability for windows to create network maps whatever connections are made.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

You seem to be using WAN to mean a Wireless connection when it means something else. Is this correct.
Your HH 5 B should provide a better network map than windows. Do you know how to log into your Home Hub Manager to get this and other information ?
Have you set up your HH 5 B as recommended in this forum ?

Problems with seeing computers on the network map but they are not able to connect with each other

Hi All,
We have 6 HP pavillion Slimline s3620f PCS(Pentium Dual COre ED200) with 10/100 and wireless connections. They are running Windows Vista Home 64. We are also trying to connect a macbook, a laptop with vista 32, and a a mac with win xp running via bootcamp. We upgraded to the WRT160Nv2 for wireless access.
We have the cable modem connected to the router. The router is connected to a switch. On the network map, all connections are working/green(can access internet). Before this, in the vista network map each computer could connect to the other. NOw each computer can only connect to the router and one particular other computer. Each computer lists itself and that one particular other computer and the router. If I look at the full map, all are listed but they cannot connect to each other.
I hope this makes sense. Any suggestions?

Mock RFP for SUN network management tool, desperate 4 help, just need specs

OK, I have a project that in essence is a mock Request for Proposal (RFP), I play as an intern, & our instructor roleplays the manager we need to convince. The different network management tools that were available were for example; HP Openview, Cisco Works, Sniffer....& I of course chose SunNet. We need to gather information on the tool, then turn around & design a relatively simple network from the specs that were given, & finally discuss how the management tool's abilities could benefit the (mock) company...power point presentation & all.
Here it is from the homework sheet given to us...."These products will need to be useful in a 5000 node network that has four main locations that are primarily Ethernet. There is a legacy 100 nodes of Token Ring attached to a mainframe. Cisco or Foundry routers connect the Four main locations, with swiches employed. Other connections to these sites are done via DSL or ISDN. Additional considerations are wireless communications, VOIP & Content delivery systems.
I know this is a lot & I'm not asking for someone to do all this for me, just simply provide any information you know about Enterprise management tools 2.0 or 3.0,or anything you may feel better suits my needs, as the links I have surfed about them give little to nothing about specifics that I need to make any argument. If you have any links send them...if you have anyting in hard copy I will pay for postage... I need to get this done & have little time as I go to school & work full time at Motorola (but only as a contractor), so I'm starting to choke & need help....any u can give is so very appreciated....& sorry to make this request a publishable novel here on the board, but thats what it is. Thanks again......Mark

A good solution. Liked it very much. Can you please make it a technet blog for others.
