Status of this
This memo provides information for the Internet community. It
not specify an Internet standard. Distribution of this memo
unlimited
The goal of this FYI memo is to provide an update to FYI 2, RFC 1147
[1], which provided practical information to site administrators
network managers. New and/or updated tools are listed in this RFC
Additonal descriptions are welcome, and should be sent to: noctools
entries@merit.edu
A static document cannot incorporate references to the latest
nor recent revisions to the older catalog entries. To provide a
timely and responsive information source, the NOCtools catalog

Because of publication delays and other factors, some of the
in this catalog may be out of date. The reader is urged to
the on-line service to obtain the most up-to-date information
The index provided in this document reflects the current contents
the on-line documentation
The NOCtools2 Working Group of the Internet Engineering Task
(IETF) has compiled this revised catalog. Future revisions will
incorporated into the on-line NOCtools catalog. The reader
encouraged to submit new or revised entries for (near-immediate
electronic publication

The tools described in this catalog are in no way endorsed by
IETF. For the most part, we have neither evaluated the tools in
catalog, nor validated their descriptions. Most of the
of commercial tools have been provided by vendors. Caveat Emptor
This catalog is the result of work on the part of the NOCTools
Working Group of the User Services Area of the IETF. The
individuals made especially notable contributions: Chris Myers

This section contains references to tools which are known to exist
but which have not been fully cataloged. If anyone wishes to

Keep in mind that if these or other tools are included in the future
they will be available in the on-line version of the catalog

DATE OF MOST RECENT UPDATE TO THIS CATALOG
This catalog uses "keywords" for terse characterizations of
tools. Keywords are abbreviated attributes of a tool or its use.

been developed, and are given below. Following the definitions
there is an index of catalog entries by keyword
Keyword
The keywords are always listed in a prefined order, sorted first
the general category into which they fall, and then alphabetically
The categories that have been defined for management tool
are
o the general management area to which a
relates or a tool's functional role
o the network resources or components that
managed
o the mechanisms or methods a tool uses
perform its functions
o the operating system and hardware
of a tool;
o the characteristics of a tool as a
product or software release

bandwidth of 125 Mbps. It passively connects to
network and captures 100 percent of the data,
performance and isolates real-time problems
The simulation option offers full bandwidth
generation that allows you to create and simulate
network condition. It gives you the ability to

confidence tests allow simple evaluation of
equipment. A ring map feature displays
topology and status of all nodes via the
process
Monitoring of FDDI, Ethernet and Token Ring allows
user to: view network status in real time;

These commands display private MIB information
Wellfleet systems. They retrieve and format
display values of one or several MIB variables from
Wellfleet Communications private enterprise MIB,
the SNMP (RFC1098). In particular these tools are
to examine the non-IP modules (DECnet, XNS, and Bridg
ing) of a Wellfleet system
Decaddrs displays the DECnet configuration of
Wellfleet system acting as a DECnet router, showing
static parameters associated with each DECnet inter
face. Decaroute and decnroute display the
inter-area and intra-area routing tables (that is
routes and node routes). Xnsroutes displays
known to a Wellfleet system acting as an XNS router
Bridgetab displays the bridge forwarding table with
disposition of traffic arriving from or directed
each station known to the Wellfleet bridge module.
these commands take an IP address as the argument
can specify an SNMP community for the retrieval.
SNMP query is performed for each row of the table
Note that the Wellfleet system must be operating as
IP router for the SNMP to be accessible
Management information is exchanged by use of SNMP

The EMANATE system provides a run-time extensible
agent that dynamically reconfigures an agent's

agent. An EMANATE capable SNMP agent can support zero
one, or many subagents and dynamically reconfigure
connect or disconnect those subagents' MIBs
The EMANATE system consists of several
independent components and subsystems
o Master SNMP agent which contains an API to
with subagents
o Subagents which implement various MIBS
o Subagent Developer's Kit which contains tools to
in the implementation of subagents
o EMANATE libraries which provide the API for
subagent
A concise API allows a standard means of
between the master and subagents. System
mechanisms are employed for transfer of
between the master and subagents

Getethers runs through all addresses on an

and then determines the ethernet address for
host. It produces a list, in either plain ASCII,
file format for the Excelan Lanalyzer, or the
format for the Network General Sniffer,
hostname/ethernet address pairs for all hosts on
local nework. The plain ASCII list
includes the vendor name of the ethernet card

identity of unknown systems
Getethers uses a raw IP socket to generate ICMP
requests and receive ICMP echo replies, and
examines the kernel ARP table to determine
ethernet address of each responding system
