LANSpy Bandwidth Monitor (Professional)

The Network Managers Choice LANSpy Bandwidth Monitor (Pro) has been designed for the Professional Network Manager who needs to monitor a large number of network ports/devices and their traffic levels. LANSpy BM Pro is typically used to monitor router bandwidth traffic, switch traffic (e.g. Cisco Catalyst Switches) – just about any device that can supports standard SNMP throughput data.

Unlike its junior version, LANSpy Bandwidth Manager (SME), LANSpy BM Pro has been designed with a large network in mind.

The initial installation and configuration of LANSpy BM Pro can be completed in less than 10 minutes for virtually any sized network. All management screens are delivered via standard HTML web based forms. To enable you to get up-and-running fast, LANSpy BM Pro has an Automatic Network Discovery option that will list all the devices it finds on your network. These automatically discovered devices are then listed ready for you to simply select which ports you want to monitor.

The generated graphs can be published to the local web server, FTP’d to a remote web server, or viewed in real-time when you select the “graph” button.

LANSpy BM Pro automatically generates an index page listing all your graphs. These pages contain the graphs and current statistics for each given interface, for daily, weekly, monthly and yearly ranges of data.
