Tracking Protocols

Note

You can also view protocol information by
selecting Protocols from the Main menu.

To find out what protocols are associated with a device or
running on the network, do the following:

1.

Display the Protocols screen (Figure 4-5):

Figure 4-5. Protocols Screen

The Protocols screen lists groups of protocols
present on the network. This information can help you
find out if there are any protocol configuration
mismatches. See Table 3-1 for a list of the protocols
that NetTool can discover.

The network icon

appears next to the name of

a protocol group to indicate that there are protocols of
that type running on the network. Note that some
protocols also display the PC icon

, which means

that NetTool sees them on both the PC and the
network sides.

2.

To view detailed information for a particular protocol
group, move the cursor to its name, then press
SELECT.

For example, if you select IP Protocols, the IP
Protocols
screen (Figure 4-6) is displayed:

All of the IP protocols NetTool sees are listed on this
screen.
