CyE RASCO CLM - Generate commands for Cisco devices, such as: Routers, Access Points and Switches using command line mode more>>
Working with CLI is like typing command by command, which can be very difficult to work using it if you have a lot of Cisco devices to configure. Also it is difficult because with CLI you?re using a command-prompt window and with the use of Telnet you are connecting to the devices. And by using these methods you are only able to paste only one command at a time, which is not so great.
In other words the other half of the process is represented by another tool that is useful in sending this data to the CLI by means of copy and pasting. This tool is called PenguiNet. It is a 30 days trial software but it gets the job done. Why another tool ? When having a list of commands, you need to paste those commands one time and the device will do the job, instead o pasting as many times as the number of commands. PenguiNet allows you to paste the commands only one time and of course this is enough, because you get the configuration done.
Having this tool and having the commands generated on-the-fly, meaning you can change the IP address of an interface or a routing protocol and you will have the configuration generated in no time, could improve the time needed to configure a device and you will keep track of configuration files so far.
Also the application has a calculator. When you are configuring a device you need an IP address that must not be a broadcast address or a network address, so the calculator can be very useful when you do subnetting. If you need to see what is the binary representation of an IP address or vice-versa you can use the calculator section.
Below I will provide a list of functions that the application covers. Here is the list of functions:
Router Configuration
- Set the name of the router;
- Assign IP address to the interfaces (serial, Ethernet, loopback);
- Configure Routing Protocols;
- Set up Access Control Lists (ACLs);
- Configure static, default and dynamic routes;
- Add other router commands.
AP Configuration
- Set the name of the Access Point;
- Configure Interfaces;
- Create SSIDs and VLANs;
- Configure Authentication;
- Configure Encryption;
- Add other access point commands.
Switch Configuration
- Set the name of the switch;
- Configure the Interfaces;
- Create VLANs;
- Set up VTP Domain;
- Set up TRUNKing;
- Add other switch commands.
Calculator
- Binary 2 Decimal;
- Decimal 2 Binary;
- AND(IP, SM) = Network IP;
- Subnetting with ?/? [e.g.: /26, /30].

SNMP Trap Watcher 1.36
SNMP Trap Watcher is built to be used to receive SNMP Traps from network equipment, including routers, switches, and workstation more>>
Traps are sent when errors or specific events occur on the network. Traps are normally only sent to end stations which are currently sending SNMP requests to the device in question, using applications such as SNMP Manager or HP OpenView. However, some devices can be configured to send Traps to specific management station addresses.
SNMP Traps are sent on UDP port 162, and SNMP Trap Watcher allows Traps to be filtered by string or by type (Enterprise specific or Generic). Using the Decode Window, and selecting a specific Trap from the list, a full decode of the Trap can be displayed. This option is more useful for debugging Network equipment which is in the early stages of development.
Switch Miner 2.51
Analyzes Cisco switches and by using SNMP creates a flat file more>>
that contains Interface Info, speed, duplex, MAC Addrs, Vlans, IPs and
DNS/NBT Computer names and users for devices connected to the switch.
So, using SNMP Switch Miner will easily create a .csv file that will contain Interface Info, Speed, Duplex, MAC Addresses, Vlan Info, IP Addresses, DNS/NBT Computer Names, User Info, Domain Info, CDP Neighbor Info and Interface Errors for ports.
WinAgents RouterTweak 2.0.1.1527
A useful and specialized terminal shell designed for controlling routers and switches more>>
Knowing the principles of working with the command line interface of Cisco devices, you can use WinAgents RouterTweak to automate the most common tasks of network device administration. This approach saves your time by allowing you to hand over routine operations to the program.
Main features:
- Having specified the username and password for connecting to a device only once, you will not have to spend time on entering them again when you connect to your router next time. WinAgents RouterTweak will enter the account data itself and switch to the privileged mode if necessary.
- Just click once to get the configuration of your device in a visual form. Syntax highlighting and the structure tree of the device configuration will allow you to quicker find your bearings among numerous configuration commands.
- WinAgents RouterTweak allows you to do without a TFTP server while editing access control lists. You can add, edit and remove commands located in the middle of ACLs. The program knows about the peculiarities of using the command line interface with Cisco access control lists and takes them into account while editing ACLs.
- It is easier to edit configuration commands due to the context help system. While you are adding a new command to the configuration file, WinAgents RouterTweak requests its possible parameters from the device. In the process of editing commands, you see the list of available variants for each command all the time and can select one of them without entering the entire string.

PRTG - Paessler Router Traffic Grapher 7.0.4.1056/1057
monitor & classify bandwidth & network usage more>> PRTG Traffic Grapher is an easy to use Windows application for monitoring and classifying bandwidth usage. It provides system administrators with live readings and long-term usage trends for their network devices. PRTG is mainly used for bandwidth usage monitoring, but may also be used to monitor many other aspects of a network such as memory and CPU utilization. With PRTG Traffic Grapher the user receives comprehensive bandwidth and network usage data that helps to optimize the efficiency of the network. Understanding bandwidth and resource consumption is the key to better network management: Avoid bandwidth and server performance bottlenecks; Find out what applications or what servers use up your bandwidth; Deliver better quality of service to your users by being proactive; Reduce costs by buying bandwidth and hardware according to actual load. The Freeware Edition of PRTG Traffic Grapher is completely free for personal and commercial use and may be downloaded for free. PRTG Traffic Grapher is designed to run on a Windows machine in your network for 24 hours every day, and constantly records the network usage parameters. The recorded data is stored in an internal database for later reference. Using an easy to use Windows interface you can configure the monitored sensors as well as create usage reports. For remote access PRTG Traffic Grapher comes with a built-in web server to provide access to graphs and tables. All common methods for network usage data acquisition are supported: SNMP: Simple Network Management Protocol is the basic method of gathering bandwidth and network usage data. It can be used to monitor bandwidth usage of routers and switches port-by-port as well as device readings like memory, CPU load etc. Packet Sniffing: With its built-in Packet Sniffer PRTG can inspect all network data packets passing the network card to calculate the bandwidth usage. NetFlow: The NetFlow protocol is supported by most Cisco routers to measure bandwidth usage.<<less
