| WatchTower’s automated topology discovery and mapping traces the relationship between the switches and servers on the local IP network using the layer 2 and 3 bridging tables.
Nodes status is displayed and updated in real time, making it perfect for NOC managers. Users can build specialized network topology diagrams to highlight any organization, physical location, business unit, or any criteria an admin-level user specifies. Relationships between nodes are denoted by directional arrowheads that represent dependencies with green arrows indicating open connections, and red arrows specifying down or unreliable connections.
WatchTower topology maps accelerate network troubleshooting by also serving as the root cause analysis and alarm suppression framework for during mass or hierarchical outages.
