Let's read each of them in detail.
Simplified IP address discovery
OpUtils simplifies IP address discovery and management with its versatile IP scanner. You can customize the scan scope by specifying individual IP addresses, a range, or uploading a list in CSV or XLS format. The scanner effectively detects connected devices across both Windows and Linux environments, providing real-time updates on their status.
Moreover, OpUtils seamlessly discovers routers, automatically including their subnets for management. You also have the flexibility to manually define subnets and utilize various scan options, including ICMP availability checks, SNMP device details retrieval, DNS resolution, and WMI-based hardware information for Windows devices. This integrated approach empowers centralized IP address management and enhances network visibility.
Efficiently scan your IP network in seconds
Modern IT environments depend on dynamic infrastructures characterized by DHCP servers, expansive enterprise networks, and a multitude of devices spanning subnets and supernets. This complexity necessitates a centralized IP scanning solution. OpUtils' network IP scanning addresses this challenge with its comprehensive capabilities.
You can continuously monitor IP provisioning and decommissioning across all network segments, including subnets, supernets, and DHCP server scopes. Moreover, OpUtils empowers you with granular control, allowing you to delve into individual IP details.
Automated scanning with advanced scan schedules
OpUtils' IP scanning scheduler enables administrators to automate regular IP scanning by scheduling scans across entire IP ranges or subnets. This ongoing monitoring guarantees reliable and current information on IP availability and status, providing a comprehensive overview of your network's IP address space.
Scan and map IPs to their corresponding switch ports
OpUtils' IP scanner meticulously maps every switch port to its connected device. It accomplishes this task by utilizing network scanning protocols such as ICMP pings, SNMP scans, and ARP. This thorough scan enables network administrators to effortlessly pinpoint the associated switch for each scanned IP address, conveniently displayed under the Connected Switch column. Furthermore, the advanced IP scanner conducts a network-wide scan to compile and present a comprehensive overview of all devices connected to a particular switch.
Seamless troubleshooting with real-time alerts
OpUtils' real-time IP scanner enables seamless troubleshooting by providing automated alerting for network issues. This advanced IP scanner identifies and activates instant notifications based on predefined utilization-based thresholds, highlighting issues such as IP conflicts or address lookup failures. By receiving prompt alerts when IP states change, administrators can swiftly troubleshoot and resolve issues before they escalate into costly network disruptions.
Visualize scan results to gather actionable insights
OpUtils' network IP scanner surpasses simple network discovery functions. It enables user tracking for allocated IPs through the retention of historical logs. Furthermore, the OpUtils IP scanner facilitates thorough auditing by retaining all network data, statistics, and performance metrics. To enhance IP utilization efficiency, it produces reports that identify used and unused addresses, designating unresponsive IPs as available after a 10-day period. These informative reports are exportable in user-friendly formats such as PDF, CSV, or XLS, facilitating additional analysis and record keeping.
