Router monitoring
Why is WAN Monitoring important?
WAN links are usually the most expensive part of the network, and managing bandwidth allocation can be complex. Oversubscribing to bandwidth could mean that the company is paying for more bandwidth than required, and undersubscribing could result in congestion and unacceptable network performance. WAN Monitoring and Router Monitoring thus become very critical. Network managers need to optimize the quality of service by balancing throughput, committed information rate (CIR) and burst rate with congestion, response time, and discards.
OpManager On-Demand allows administrators to monitor bandwidth usage based on various parameters such as IP addresses, ports, protocols etc.
Optimize Bandwidth Allocation - Measure Bandwidth Utilization and Traffic
OpManager On-Demand helps you monitor and troubleshoot WAN links for traffic, utilization and errors. By presenting accurate information on traffic and utilization OpManager On-Demand helps you optimize bandwidth allocation.
- Monitor link utilization and traffic with threshold alerts
- Identify highly utilized and under-utilized links
- Get alerted when interfaces start discarding packets
Resolve WAN Problems Quickly-Monitor Router Performance
Optimal router performance is critical for superior WAN performance. When your network experiences congestion, OpManager On-Demand helps you quickly resolve problems by providing visibility into critical router performance variables like
- CPU Utilization
- Memory Utilization
- Packet Loss
- Response Times
- Errors and discards
