An SNMP based software tool written by Network Partners as an aid in discovering a client's enterprise network configuration that assists in identifying anomalies that impact the efficient operation of their network.  The NetSpector software quickly and efficiently gathers pertinent configuration and operational data from all routers, switches, hubs, servers and other devices within the network, and builds an Access database for use in analyzing areas of concern. NPI personnel has evaluated equivalent tools from multiple vendors over the past years and found each to be significantly lacking in one or more areas of network analysis. 

The tool allows NPI personnel to retrieve layer-3 routing tables, layer-2 switch forwarding tables, ARP tables from each significant device, key spanning tree parameters, interface MTU values, RMON statistics and other data, providing our personnel the ability to identify instability, security, and other network anomalies based on data already available from the customer's network devices. In addition, the software can be configured to selectively poll remote device interfaces and Frame Relay PVC's to build a network baseline database, and display the baseline data in graphical form for use in assembling formal traffic usage/baseline charts and documents.

Unlike most competitive tools, NPI personnel can quickly identify OEM software inconsistencies (or bugs) allowing us to reprogram our tool to compensate for those bugs without waiting for the tool vendor to address the issue in some future software release. The capability significantly improves NPI's ability to complete projects in short timeframes, and at costs significantly below other professional services firms.  The software is not currently available for resale.
