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):

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:

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.

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