Internetwork Monitor
Internetwork Monitor lets you monitor network load on multiple seg-
ments of an internetwork and integrate the data from these segments
into one logical view.
This internetwork view provides a comprehensive picture of network
activity, both with live data and historically. You can control and con-
figure many different aspects of the view in order to analyze and fine-
tune your network.
In addition, you can easily play “what if” with your network’s topology.
Internetwork Monitor lets you create models which illustrate the effects
of moving nodes—from one segment to another or to a new segment—
using your network’s actual traffic patterns.
For a list of what data sources work with Internetwork Monitor, refer to
table 1 on page 18.
Availability
Internetwork Monitor uses NetMetrix RMON extensions to gather
network-layer load statistics from live data sources on multiple network
segments. As a result, Internetwork Monitor can be used only with
ERMs, most extended data sources, and Load Monitor archive files.
Internetwork Monitor can be used with PVCs that have been properly
configured in Agent Manager; in particular, the network-layer end points
for the PVC must be identified in Agent Manager and the PVC must be
associated with an ERM.
Internetwork Monitor cannot be used with standard RMON data
sources.
