Network Ferret™

Network Ferret™ is a Java-based discovery and topology engine tailored for integration into network management applications. With a capability to scale effectively to networks containing over 20,000 devices and one million interfaces, it addresses the complexities inherent in network device non-conformance. This robust engine provides a highly configurable environment, enabling users to adjust parameters that dictate the scope and performance of the discovery process.

The engine has been designed with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in mind, offering substantial development support available 24/7 for any operational issues, feature requests, or custom integration needs. It supports various Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) versions and vendor-specific data, making it a versatile tool for diverse networking environments.

In addition to the core functionality of the Network Ferret™, users can leverage the MIB Dump Manager (MDM) tool. MDM streamlines the analysis and management of Management Information Base (MIB) dump files, allowing users to define MIB tables, search for specific entries, add annotations, and quickly assess file contents. This facilitates efficient communication regarding MIB support with sales departments and aids in troubleshooting common data reading exceptions.

Licensing options for Network Ferret™ are flexible, including Object Code Subscription, Source Code licensing, and Custom Integration, catering to the diverse requirements of service providers and consultants. Emphasizing ease of use and efficiency, Network Ferret™ is well-equipped to handle the rigorous demands of factory automation and large-scale network management.
