MeterWare for UNIX, a powerful network monitoring application software package, introduces a completely new and flexible architecture for N.A.T.'s network monitoring system. MeterWare for UNIX supports the Remote Monitoring (RMON) MIB specifications, RFC 1271 and RFC 1513. This software includes support for all Ethernet and Token Ring RMON groups as well as support for N.A.T.'s unique MasterMeter. When used in conjunction with N.A.T.'s EtherMeter, TokenMeter and MasterMeter network monitoring probes, N.A.T.'s extensive private MIBs give a network administrator all of the diagnostic and planning tools necessary to support the network. Additionally, RMON filter, capture and detailed protocol decodes are included for use with Ethernet and Token Ring RMON probes. MeterWare for UNIX can run stand-alone on Sun workstations or can be integrated with Sun Microsystem's Solstice SunNet Manager.
MeterWare for UNIX provides network managers with an easy-to-use graphical interface for managing N.A.T. EtherMeters, TokenMeters and the powerful MasterMeter. An intuitive graphical user interface is provided for N.A.T.'s MIB extensions as well as the following RMON MIB groups: statistics, history, alarm, host, hostTopN, matrix, event, capture, filter, ring station, ring station order, ring station configuration and source routing for Token Ring. It also provides a flexible yet easy-to-use system for generating reports on historical network statistics and trends. MeterWare for UNIX also includes a powerful expert system shell which can be used to automate many network troubleshooting and analysis functions. The expert system can poll any network device for information and then use this data to evaluate complex expressions for decision making.
