WildPackets Announces New EtherPeek Releases and RMONGrabber Adds Multiple NIC Support and Easy Remote Packet Capture.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers WALNUT CREEK Walnut Creek, residential city (1990 pop. 60,569), Contra Costa co., W Calif., in the San Francisco Bay area; inc. 1914. It is the trade and shipping center of an extensive agricultural area where walnuts are among the major product. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 4, 2002 WildPackets Inc., industry-leaders in packet analysis software development, training and support, announced fourth quarter releases of EtherPeek and EtherPeek NX analyzers with multiple NIC (1) (Network Interface Card) See network adapter. See also InterNIC. (2) (New Internet Computer) An earlier Linux-based computer from The New Internet Computer Company (NICC), Palo Alto, CA. support and a new remote traffic analysis module, RMONGrabber(TM). A public beta of all 3 products is now available from www.wildpackets.com/products/beta_download. With the new releases of EtherPeek, protocol analysis can be performed simultaneously on multiple LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. and/or WAN segments with the same tool -- a capability that has not been available in any protocol analysis tool until now. "Our new EtherPeeks are the first analyzers to allow multiple, active, simultaneous capture sessions," states Joe Bardwell, WildPackets' VP of professional services (job) professional services - A department of a supplier providing consultancy and programming manpower for the supplier's products. . "These Q4 releases will support as many network interface adapters as can be managed by the operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. and the hardware platform. We've configured systems with eight separate adapters in our lab, with each adapter capturing different types of traffic into its own separate buffer." The new EtherPeek releases will also include support for RMONGrabber, a remote packet analysis module and the easiest way to capture packets from an RMON probe A network device that analyzes RMON information. The probe can monitor traffic and set an alarm when a certain condition occurs. It can be used to periodically audit traffic as well as gather statistics that are sent to the management console. . With RMONGrabber, you can: -- Capture from multiple probes at the same time using multiple capture windows -- Configure each capture window with its own set of capture and filter options -- Collect, view, and decode packets in real-time or post-capture -- Use multiple instances of RMONGrabber simultaneously against a single RMON Probe Keith Axtell, performance analyst with Consumers Energy in Jackson, Mich., has beta-tested RMONGrabber and EtherPeek NX v2.0 pre-release software against an existing probe population on-site. "We strive to leverage the investment we have in software and hardware for the greatest return. EtherPeek NX and RMONGrabber is another way we can achieve this by our knowledge and use of EtherPeek NX for protocol analysis, and utilizing existing RMON (Remote MONitoring) Enhancements to the management information base (MIB) structure used by the simple network management protocol (SNMP). In 1991, RMON added comprehensive network monitoring capabilities. technology throughout our network," says Axtell. About EtherPeek for Windows v5.0 and EtherPeek NX v2.0 EtherPeek for Windows v5.0 and EtherPeek NX v2.0 are scheduled for release on December 17, 2002. The new releases include many significant enhancements, most notably: multiple NIC capture support, multi-layer graphing options, enhanced Expert capabilities, trace file annotation, new summary decodes, VoIP Analysis Module, new monitoring function, and many UI updates. The new releases also include support for RMONGrabber(TM), a remote monitoring (protocol) remote monitoring - (RMON) A network management protocol that allows network information to be gathered at a single computer. Whereas SNMP gathers network data from a single type of Management Information Base (MIB), RMON 1 defines nine additional MIBs that provide a capture analysis module that can be purchased separately. WildPackets is providing a public beta of the new releases beginning November 1 from their website. EtherPeek Maintenance owners will receive the new upgrades when they are released in December. About RMONGrabber RMONGrabber is a remote packet analysis module that works with EtherPeek for Windows v5.0 and EtherPeek NX v2.0, both scheduled to ship on December 17th. RMONGrabber collects packets from an RMON probe directly into an EtherPeek capture window, and enables users of EtherPeek to interactively and seamlessly troubleshoot remote networks in the same way, and with the same powerful features, that are available when using EtherPeek to troubleshoot local networks. A network administrator can connect to an RMON probe in a remote office location and instantly view the packets in an EtherPeek Capture window, identifying problem situations without requiring expensive and inconvenient off-site visits. When installed with EtherPeek NX, RMONGrabber can build Peer Maps and perform Expert analysis on remote networks. The new module will debut for $999.00 USD USD In currencies, this is the abbreviation for the U.S. Dollar.
