Engineer's Toolset: Tools to Help You Save the Day

For those of you who have never tried Engineer's Toolset, you're about find out what you've been missing. Engineer's Toolset is the most robust collection of network management applications available for your desktop. Packed with 49 save-the-day tools, this product delivers the management, monitoring, and troubleshooting tools you need to be a network superhero - all in one extremely affordable package! For those of you who already use Engineer's Toolset, keep reading... you may learn something new.

Please Remain Seated At All Times
With NetFlow Configurator - a new tool in the recently released version 9.1! - you can remotely configure NetFlow v5 on supported Cisco® devices without ever leaving the Bat Cave. Plus, this new tool also facilitates setting up collectors for NetFlow data, specifying the ports on which collectors are listening, and enabling monitoring of inbound and outbound traffic data per interface.

X-Ray Vision for Your Network
View Cisco NetFlow data in real time so that you can see if your bandwidth is being used for good or for evil (okay, or maybe just for YouTube). The NetFlow RealTime tool shows you what kind of traffic is traveling through the network, where it's coming from, and where it's going. Best of all, it takes the guess work out of diagnosing traffic spikes and stores up to one hour of Cisco NetFlow data - it's like X-ray vision for your network. View the tutorial.

Keep Gotham Up & Running
Perform real-time monitoring of network latency, packet loss, availability, traffic, bandwidth utilization, CPU load, memory and disk space utilization with Network Performance Monitor. Toolset ensures the network is running at peak performance, just like the Bat Mobile.

Who's Who?
Tired of managing IP addresses using spreadsheet technology that is more exhausting than exposure to kryptonite? With Toolset, you can actively monitor which IP addresses are in use on your network, including IP address status, DNS name, machine type, and location using the ever-popular IP Address Management tool.

Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are
Figuring out which devices are connected to each switch/hub port on your network can require crawling through a lot of closets, which isn't good for your superhero image. We have good news - with the Switch Port Mapper these connections are discovered automatically. Once you've found all your devices with a few mouse clicks, you can easily export your reports to Excel®, PDF, CSV, and HTML. View the tutorial.

Wait, you haven't earned your cape yet!
There are still more tools to master.
