Freeware: Netflow

	Paessler Netflow Tester  License: Freeware
	Paessler Netflow Tester dumps the data of all Netflow packets that a computer receives from a Cisco router. This can be useful when debugging bandwidth monitoring configurations based on Cisco's Netflow protocol. First the Netflow protocol must be enabled and configured on the router. Then the router must be given the IP address of the computer running Netflow tester so that the UDP data packets with Netflow data are sent to that computer. Just follow these simple instructions: 1) Download Paessler Netflow Tester and then start netflowtest.exe 2) Enter the IP and port number that you have configured as netflow packet target in your Cisco Router. Usually selecting "any IP" should work, in some cases the IP must be explicitly selected. 3) Enable "Start Netflow Collector". 4) You should now see a line in the logfile for each packet the computer receives. Each line shows the time, netflow version, number of flows and the IP of a packet (note: You need netflow version 5 for PRTG Traffic Grapher!) 5) Enable "Show Flow Data" to also show the corresponding flow data. 6) If you do not see any activity then the system does not receive any netflow data (e.g. due to misconfiguration of the router or a firewall blocking the packets, etc.) Author: Paessler AG| Date: 10-10-2005 | Size: 380 KB

	NetFlow Configurator  License: Freeware
	Meet the newest free tool in the SolarWinds portfolio: NetFlow Configurator! NetFlow traffic analysis has become an increasingly important factor when it comes to managing your network and keeping an eye on bandwidth utilization. So we designed a free tool that makes it easier than ever before to get started with Cisco NetFlow! SolarWinds NetFlow Configurator is an easy-to-use tool for remotely and quickly configuring NetFlow v5 via SNMP on supported Cisco® devices. NetFlow Configurator also facilitates setting up collectors for Cisco NetFlow data, specifying the ports on which the collectors are listening, and enabling monitoring of inbound and outbound (ingress/egress) traffic data per interface. NetFlow Configurator is just one of several SolarWinds applications that can aid you in performing NetFlow traffic analysis. Check out these other great NetFlow tools with FREE 30-day evaluations! SolarWinds NetFlow Real-time Tool, which is included in our award-winning Engineer's Toolset, is a real-time capture and analysis tool that stores up to one hour of Cisco NetFlow data on a single router interface. It displays interface inbound and outbound traffic separately for granular analysis and troubleshooting. Orion NetFlow Traffic Analyzer enables you to capture continuous streams of network traffic across multiple router interfaces and convert those raw numbers into easy-to-interpret charts and tables that reveal exactly how the corporate network is being used, by whom and for what purpose – enabling you to shut down the bandwidth hogs.

	Paessler SNMP Tester  License: Freeware
	With Paessler SNMP Tester you can run simple SNMP requests against a device in your network. During the test each single step of the SNMP request is logged into a logfile for analysis. The idea of this free program is to debug SNMP requests down to the protocol level in order to find communication and/or data problems in SNMP monitoring configurations. Just follow these simple instructions: 1) Download Paessler SNMP Tester and run the snmptest.exe file. 2) Enter the IP address of your device and select the SNMP port and the SNMP community string. 3) Select a request type: (a) MIB2 Interface: Reads the traffic counter of a port according to the MIB2 OID (b) Custom OID: Enter a custom OID value to access any OID value on the device (c) Device Uptime: Reads the standard system uptime value from the device 4) It may be necessary to select a specific local IP for the SNMP request (usually only necessary for multi homed systems) 5) Click on "Run Test" to start the testing process. 6) During the test you will find detailed information in the logfile window.
