LANsurveyor
The first product in its class to automate the discovery, topology mapping,
documentation and reporting of critical network systems and components in real
time.
 |
Automatically Diagrams the Network
LANsurveyor automatically discovers everything on the network, including
desktops, servers, printers, hubs, switches and routers. LANsurveyor uses
industry-standard identification and discovery methods (ping/ICMP, SNMP,
SIP-based VoIP, NetBIOS and more) to scan IP address ranges and find nodes. Once
network nodes are discovered, LANsurveyor compiles the information into a
cohesive, easy-to-view network map with node icons and coloured lines
representing network connectivity speed. |
Creates Network Topology Database
LANsurveyor collects and stores all topology information in a database,
providing a trusted source of topology and asset information for enterprise
configuration management database (CMDB) strategies. LANsurveyor automatically
maintains this data, providing network engineers with a constantly-accurate
representation of the network for visibility and compliance requirements.
Discovers Switch Port Connections
LANsurveyor enables network engineers to see exactly how devices in the network
are connected. LANsurveyor can access managed switches and hubs to accurately
diagram port connectivity for all network devices, resulting in a complete map
that illustrates all nodes connected directly to a managed switch or hub with
the port information displayed adjacent to the node.

Creates
Maps in Microsoft Office Visio
LANsurveyor creates an exact map of the network in Visio format. After
LANsurveyor has produced the initial network map, this diagram can be exported
into Visio with two mouse clicks.Detects and Blocks Unknown Network Nodes
LANsurveyor's Continuous Scan Intrusion Detection feature monitors the network
for changes and unknown systems — and optionally disables their network access.
From a single computer, Continuous Scan detects intrusions and changes across
the enterprise, working seamlessly on switched networks. When rogue systems are
identified, Continuous Scan can disable their network access, or alert network
engineers and/or third-party software applications that a change has been
detected. Additionally, Continuous Scan helps network engineers document network
changes for regulatory compliance.

Reports Hardware and Software Assets
LANsurveyor quickly and easily compiles complete documentation of all devices on
the network. By automating software and hardware inventory reports, LANsurveyor
delivers time and cost savings, ensures licensing compliance and enables network
engineers to plan effectively for system upgrades and modifications. Available
reports include inventory data about application programs, OS versions, CPU,
RAM, disk volume capacity, available free space and other system data.
Optional LANsurveyor Responder Clients
The optional LANsurveyor Responder Clients greatly enhance the functionality of
LANsurveyor by providing LANsurveyor with direct access to networked computers.
This direct access allows LANsurveyor to provide complete hardware and software
asset reports, distribute software, and directly manage the client computers,
either individually or as a group.
LANsurveyor Responder Clients deliver the following
capabilities:
 | Gain direct access to Windows, Macintosh and Linux systems
|
| Automatically save hardware and software configuration
information in a SQL database |
| Generate systems continuity and backup profiler reports
|
| Use remote management capabilities to shut down, restart
and launch applications and more |
LANsurveyor Responder Clients are available in packs of 25,
50, 100, and 500 clients and support Windows-, Linux-, and Macintosh-based
systems.
LANsurveyor diagrams your network in Visio
format
 |
LANsurveyor for Visio automatically creates
an exact map of the LAN — or the entire WAN — in Microsoft Office Visio
format, providing the information network engineers need to effectively
manage and monitor infrastructure devices.
With just a few mouse clicks, LANsurveyor for Visio can
automatically gather all necessary network information to create a Visio
2003 drawing, including routers, switches, computers, and connectivity
information. LANsurveyor for Visio also stores each node's information in
Custom Properties, including the fully qualified domain name (FQDN), IP
Address, and Network Description (node name as reported by SNMP, NetBIOS, or
Responders during auto-discovery).
