I wrote about usefull and free network management and monitoring software a couple of posts earlier and wanted to follow up with just a couple of tips I got. I have included a some windows tools here, the last post was mostly about linux tools.
Here are 6 more free network management/monitoring utilities!
- PRTG is a network graphing suite for windows, the free version includes 10 ’sensors’ (snmp data points).
- TFTPD32 is a free TFTP server for Windows.
- Solarwinds TFTP Server is a free TFTP server for Windows from Solarwinds, it is also widely used.
- Nmap is a port scanner, it works for both linux and Windows. This one is really good.
- Wireshark is a network sniffer/monitorer, it can be usefull for analysing traffic.
- netcat/netcat6 (ubuntu package names) is a nice utility if you just want to open a port, connect to a port, etc. You can even send data with it, it is described as the “TCP/IP swiss army knife”.
Hope this is usefull to some of you!
