Networks are dynamic entities.
Making that job easier are two new network discovery and mapping tools. The Topology Wizard walks you through the process of adding new segments to the network, from choosing a layout to assigning the appropriate symbol to each node you've added. Available for Microsoft Windows 95 or NT as well as the DEC Alpha platform, WhatsUp Gold is scalable and can create maps for subnets across large networks, linking those maps together to provide simultaneous monitoring. WhatsUp Gold includes a map layout editor with a full array of shapes and tools .
