Monitoring
Active and passive monitoring of the network is performed on a
constant basis so as to be aware of a problem or potential problem as
soon as possible. For passive monitoring we use the above statistics as
well as remote monitoring software tools and specialized monitoring
hardware. Active monitoring is done in the form of periodic
ICMP Echo Requests, pings, and SNMP requests. Monitoring Hardware
As monitoring tools we utilitize 5 Network General Sniffers (4 distributed
and one portable) as well as our large base of 10BaseT Hubs. We also
rely on device traps to inform us of problematic conditions on each network.
