You know that servers have log files and performance measuring tools and that traditional network devices have LEDs that blink when a port does something. You may have tools that tell you how busy an interface is, but moLstly a network device is a black box. This book opens that black box, demonstrating how to use industry-standard software and your existing hardware to assess, analyze, and debug your network.
Learn how to:
- Identify network, server, router, and firewall problems before they become critical
- Find defective and misconfigured software
- Quickly find virus-spewing machines, even if they're on a different continent
- Determine whether your problem stems from the network or a server
- Automatically graph the most useful data
