Network Monitoring: Tools that Identify Missing Zones



We use Inter*Poll to get a list of all our AppleTalk zones on the network.
We printed a list, generated another list, and we found that two zones were
missing. Is there a utility available that will check the network, and
give us a complete list, including the zones that are down?


If you want an automated network monitoring tool that specifically looks
for zones that are missing or have been added without authorization, here
are two applications that might help you:

- Network Vital Signs, from Dayna Communications

- NetWatchman, from Neon Software

On AppleLink, you can find contact information for the various vendors by
clicking the Library Index button to view the folder structure in the Tech
Info Library.  An alphabetic listing of vendors is in the Third Party
Company Directory folder.
