Network traffic software?

Hi all

I was responsible for software installation "sniffer to capture/network/network monitoring packages" on my ESX servers.  I would like to know what you guys out there to use?  I know vaugely ethtool and wireshark, others are out there and which works best?  Another VERY important point, I want to stay in the VMware software support.  If I install something and have to call VMware support on another matter I don't want VMware to tell me that this product cancels my support or something like that.

Thank you.

Although I like the 3rd part output, I generally try to use apps that are already built in.  tcpdump is provided with the operating system RHEL3 that make up your service on the host ESX console.  You can enter the data that is on the same segment as your network service management/console.  For the virtual machine, those are usually via the separate physical NIC, during different vSwitch' are, if you want a device of capture on the vm to capture data from these networks that the vm is attached to.

For them, I've still use tcpdump to my RHEL machines and will use the virtual machine network Analyzer windows.  They are both very good in a pinch, while others such as wireshark to read great capture easier.

  • Wireless - C6180 network traffic

    Product: Photosmart C6180 all-in-one

    The printer has been set up wireless to share among 5 computers and works very well.  My concern is that the amount of traffic network the printer generates.

    I analyzed the network traffic generated by my computer using Wireshark Analyzer (packet sniffer) network protocol.  Traffic is presented as a series of SNMP (from the computer) requests to the printer and the answers SNMP from the printer to the computer.  This status of probable reports in near real-time.

    This isn't a problem, but I would like to discuss the volume of network traffic.  I see on request 20 and 20 responses per second for a single computer.  Request/responses start a port 1026 (sending a request and get an answer) then increment to the next port 1027 (request / response), increment to the port 1028 and continue.  This continues until it hits port 5000 then begins to port 1026.  About, through 4000 ports every 3 minutes.  Each request and response being about 100 bytes of information.

    This traffic volume is normal?  It can be reduced?

    I looked in the printer and the software congifurations to see if it can be reduced to a minimum and can not see a framework to reduce the traffic.

    Well, I expected someone to complain about this. Also, I think that it is rare as well.

    What you see, is the HP SW on each computer to the printer for admission to the status of vote. I think that changes of the PC port with each SNMP request but you should see that all SNMP packets going to port 161 printer and that the printer meets the port 161 originally PC port...

    You'll also see shows SLP in 427 on the printer port as well (most used ARP and NETBIOS stuff).

    To my dismay, this is normal (an old design in fact) and we are changing. Yes, it's a chatty Protocol but the bandwidth network should not be significant (using your numbers – I thought the refresh frequency was 1/3 Hz):

    5 computers * (20 packets/SNMP-s) = 100 packets/SNMP-sec * 200 bytes/SNMP-package (estimated) = 20000 bytes/s.

    (Is this a lot on a 11g wireless network has a bandwidth of?)

    The real problem occurs when you have a wireless network. Because UDP is not reliable, the SNMP get s/SNMP-response may be lost, especially on the airwaves. When this happens, the SW will attempt the request again, and after a series of delays, the HP SW will think the printer is offline.

    Now to answer your original question: you can remove the most background traffic by disabling the HP printer services. You will still be able to print but the scan will not work. Another option is to uninstall the HP SW and manually add the printer in Control Panel. Unfortunately, this also gives you printing without analyzing.

  • Virtual network traffic control

    I am currently evaluating different virtualization products and have a special interest in virtual machine network traffic control.  What I want to know is: is it possible, in VMware Server (or drive), to completely control the network traffic between virtual machines?  In other words, can I programmatically control the virtual network so that I can decide if and when, a bunch of VM #1 is passed to VM #2?

    I had planned on using network invited only, but if NAT or Bridged Networking is necessary to make this work, I'm ready to do.

    Thanks in advance,

    Dan

    Is it possible, in VMware Server (or drive), to completely control the network traffic between virtual machines?

    N ° Server VM Ware or player has no such controls.  ESX has traffic shaping.  None of these can do however to balance INCOMING traffic load.

    You would need a virtual computer with the software between them to control data.  But if you do, upgrade to ESX Enterprise Plus with Cisco Nexus.

  • Can not activate my Network Magic software after reinstalling

    After a clean install of Windows 8 Pro I installed my Network Magic Software. After installation, I tried to activate my legal version, but it will not accept a connection to save and activate. I discovered that Cisco supports more Net Magic then activation is not possible in the Netherlands. Cisco said that there is no other tool network of Cisco for my WRT-320N replacement and other Cisco devices. Is it possible to activate my Network Magic software in another way (in the United States or in the registry of Windows or Network Magic)? THX Martin

    One of the reasons why software cannot be installed are because of the firewall on your computer or antivirus software. Try to disable the firewall or disable your anti-virus temporarily and activate Network Magic again.

  • Wusb54g v2 - problem with Linksys Wireless Network Monitor Software

    I have a card Linksys USB wireless (WUSB54Gv2) that is currently used with an old HP Desktop running Windows XP Service Pack 3.

    I also have a Linksys Wireless PCI Adpater (WMP54Gv4.1) that is currently used with an old Dell desktop running Windows XP.

    I have a wired and wireless home network... My broadband provider is Verizon FIOS; I use their supplied router because the coaxial cable that provides the internet connection plugs only into their wireless router, not in a modem and a router. I have an encryption key for 128-bit WEP on the side of the network wireless; It is even once managed via the Verizon FIOS router via a web browser (like most routers).

    Two other computers I own are a desk custom-made to date with a direct link to the Verizon router and a laptop from Apple. These two computers are NOT having internet connectivity problems.

    I've updated to the latest drivers for my USB adapter and the car PCI.

    ---

    Here's my problem:

    When I try to connect to the internet using the Wireless Network Monitor software provided by Linksys, computers, I can connect to the "access point", but not internet. This product only when I don't have the key WEP 128 bits in place, when security is disabled.

    If I right click on the Wireless Network Monitor icon in the taskbar and select "Use Windows XP Wireless Configuration", enter my network through windows manually information (including the WEP key), I can connect to the internet perfectly.

    However, when I restart or stop two PC, the Linksys Wireless Network Monitor reactive software itself, where it automatically attempts to connect to the internet, but fails, after which I right click on the icon of the monitor again and select «Use Windows XP...» "and then I connect to the internet.

    Is anyway to disable the Linksys continuously monitor software WITHOUT uninstalling the software or drivers? (I tried this; Windows cannot use or recognize the network adapter).

    ---

    I might just re - activate the Setup Wireless Windows XP every time I close / restart, but other users of PCs on my network (my family) are exceptionally illiterate computer/network and would not be able to learn how to do whenever they want to connect. There is very little practice.

    If there is a way to solve this situation, please help! If all goes well there are other solutions I am open to suggestions.

    I must emphasize that our Apple laptop connects fine when the WEP key is set.

    Once more, looking for quick help!

    Thank you advance!

Re - install drivers insert the CD of Linksys install in your CD-ROM drive, when the welcome is displayed click on exit, connect your USB adapter now...

Ignore the window and click on continue to continue the installation because the adapter has been tested and it works with Windows XP. When Windows has finished installing the driver, click Finish.

    -connect to these SNMP (or similar) to show me a little statistics on each port on each switch, as well as the connectivity between these switches.

    -I would like to know which port what mac addresses and possibly the IP addresses of these.

    -Let me know what mac addresses uses more bandwidth

    -ban a mac address

  • analyze network traffic

    first of all, I want to say hello and that this forum was already a big help for me.

    Unfortunately I could not find anything on how to analyze the network traffic on a blackberry device. It is possible to analyze the network (ip) traffic using an api (signed) java?

    Something like an OutboundMessageListener for IP packets would be perfect. What I found was net.rim.device.api.system.RadioInfo.getNumberOfPacketsSent (), but I want to get the content of all sending packets (ip). Any ideas?

  • total number of bytes of network traffic for a given period and given a vm guest

    Hello

    I want to see the total number of bytes of network traffic a given virtual machine generates in a give period.

    I think it's possible with a great metric but don't know how.

    Any help is welcome.

    Kristof

    This is for vrops x 6

    1. create a metric configuration


     
        

            
            
            

        

     

    2. create a new dashboard with a list of objects and graphic metric

    3 edit the object list widget, and the filter object type\Virtual Machines and save

    4. change the metrics graph and select the metric config that you created in step 1 in the metrix configuration box and save it

    5 in Widget interactions select list of objects in the menu drop-down and click on apply Interactions and save the dashboard

    When you open the control panel and select a virtual machine from the list (or search for it in the filter), it will display the average amount of data received and transmitted in Kbps in the metric table. Use the controls to date to specify when you want to see the data to and from.

  • Asked to "monitor all network traffic" Fusion 7.1-8.1 Windows plain vanilla VM - I didn't ask for it, how to disable it?

    Hi all

    I created a computer virtual Windows 8.1 on October 1, 2013 with the current, at that time version of VMWare Fusion (not Pro, who has the tab network preferences and the check box associated to whether to display it's fast) on my Mac.

    Since then, I upgraded the version of OS X to Yosemite and the version of VMWare Fusion to 7.1.1.

    At one time, months or years, I started having the prompt below:

    VMWarePromiscuous.png

    A virtual machine tries to monitor all network traffic, which requires administrator access. Type your password for this purpose.

    I don't want to allow this, I never asked for this virtual machine to use the "Promiscuous" mode, I don't want to do, and I can't find anyway to turn this off!

    I always leave the command prompt and everything works fine.  Discussions only I can find this in the forums are all related to people using ESX to vSphere, neither of which I have no knowledge where all used.

    I had an another VM Windows 8.1 on another Mac during the same time, which has crossed all the same updates, and it never shows this prompt.

    Please help make this stupid, quickly go and stop this virtual machine to try to use the "Promiscuous" mode!

    Thank you - Harold
