VLAN and Port ID Extraction - Nixu NEE

Most enterprises and public organizations continue to manage their IP resources and subnets using spreadsheets that provide no reliable information on the physical location of an IP address. The larger the network, the more time IT departments spend on manually extracting and analyzing syslog files to determine the location of a given client. The lack of transparency translates into prolonged lead times in providing onsite support, and inability to monitor how the network resources are really being utilized at any given time.

Nixu Network Equipment Extractor (NEE) is a virtualization-ready software appliance designed to extract VLAN, MAC, Port ID and other information produced by routers and switches. It provides real-time feed on the activity and the physical location of clients using the network. When integrated with Nixu NameSurfer IPAM, network administrators will be able to centrally view whether an allocated IP address is in active use or not, and its "last seen" physical location.
