Finding the location on which specific equipment is connected can be a much more complex task than<\/p>\n

expected when you do not have the right tools. In large organizations, devices frequently shift between switch sections, which makes finding unknown devices on switched networks a challenge for IT admins. Many organizations lack the ability to trace and record who connects when and where.<\/p>\n

Secondly, network administrators face challenges in keeping track of switch ports are in use and those that are free. This information is extremely important for ensuring optimal port usage, planning for new network requirements, and for compliance requirements. Unused switch ports also pose a security threat, as they can be used by an intruder to gain access into the network.<\/p>\n

Maintaining switch port utilization information is tedious when it must be done manually. As the network grows, so does the number of devices and keeping an up to date and accurate inventory of device data takes more time and effort.<\/p>\n<\/div>

How Switch Port Manager helps?<\/h2><\/div>

Switch Port Manager tools help network engineers and administrators to remotely discover network attached devices and identify the switch port number each device is plugged into. Having this information handy saves a lot of time when troubleshooting connectivity issues across the network.<\/p>\n

Switch Port Manager also helps with the following tasks:<\/p>\n
