# LAN Monitor | LAN Network Monitoring Software - ManageEngine OpManager ## LAN monitoring Track LAN and their subnets health and performance with OpManager. LAN is more complex to monitor when compared to a WAN. A typical LAN comprises devices of various types such as routers, switches, APs, servers, and printers. Each of these devices and their performance metrics need to be monitored at varied intervals The complexity of monitoring them doubles further if the fact that each of these devices is manufactured by multiple vendors is taken into account. Further, some enterprises need visibility into the subnet level. It is for this reason that OpManager comes pre-equipped with a set of powerful and robust LAN monitoring features. With these features, OpManager not only helps you ensure continuous availability of your LANs but also provides you with an in-depth analysis of the performance of your LAN networks. ## OpManager - A powerful and intuitive tool for LAN monitoring With OpManager's Wi-Fi network analyzer, you can gain complete control over your wireless networks and enable constant uptime and availability. Built to monitor complex, large-scale IT infrastructures with ease, OpManager's wireless network analyzer also helps you effectively [monitor your Wi-Fi networks](https://www.manageengine.com/network-monitoring/wifi-monitor.html?lan-mon) by displaying useful insights into critical networking aspects. These insights enable you to quickly detect and troubleshoot any emerging network issues, aiding in seamless network operations. OpManager's LAN monitoring capabilities include the following: - [LAN performance monitoring and fault management](#lan-performance--fault-management) - [Subnet monitoring](#lan-subnet-monitoring) - [LAN visualization](#lan-visualization) ## LAN performance & fault management ### Ensure high LAN availability with the help of LAN health monitoring tool - OpManager comes with a wide variety of health and performance monitors that can be used to monitor and manage the availability of the different types of devices in your LAN network. - These monitors can be used to measure a wide variety of performance parameters for various network devices including availability, response time, [packet loss](https://www.manageengine.com/network-monitoring/tech-topics/network-packet-loss.html?lan-mon), temperature, fan speed, RTT and much more. - Each monitor is equipped with powerful reports that give you a deep dive into the performance and health stats of the devices in your LAN. ### Catch network problems well in advance using LAN monitoring software OpManager redefines LAN [fault monitoring](https://www.manageengine.com/network-monitoring/fault-monitoring.html?lan-mon) by enabling you to set multiple thresholds. With the multiple thresholds feature, you can get alerted when the parameters that are being monitored cross a pre-defined limit. The alerts are classified into 3 levels - Attention, trouble & critical. You can configure it to receive alerts through the web console/ email/ SMS/ phone. ### Get instant alerts on LAN faults with LAN monitoring system [OpManager's alerting system](https://www.manageengine.com/network-monitoring/network-monitoring-alerts.html?lan-mon) supports notifications via email, console, SMS, Android, iPhone & iPad. This ensures that you are alerted in the very instant your LAN runs into any issues. The notification profiles in OpManager are easy to set up and help you take timely actions to resolve the faults in your LAN. ### Track and resolve issues better using the integration with help desk tools ![LAN performance monitoring - ManageEngine OpManager](https://cdn.manageengine.com/network-monitoring/images/incident-creation.png) OpManager provides easy-to-setup [integrations](https://www.manageengine.com/network-monitoring/integration.html?lan-mon) with popular help desk tools like ServiceDesk Plus and Service Now, making it easier for you to track and resolve faults in your LANs. The whole integration process is seamless and takes only a few minutes to set up. These integrations help in improving the overall efficiency with which you resolve faults in your LANs. ### Use Workflows to automate repeated LAN management and maintenance tasks ![Workflows - ManageEngine OpManager](https://cdn.manageengine.com/network-monitoring/images/it-workflow-automation.png) Automation is disrupting every industry - so we decided to bring it to manage your LANs too. With the [Workflow](https://www.manageengine.com/network-monitoring/it-workflow-automation.html?lan-mon) feature, you can automate some of the most commonly performed LAN monitoring and maintenance, including tasks like running custom Windows/ Linux scripts, performing bulk monitoring and maintenance tasks, scheduling downtime for maintenance, and much more. ## LAN subnet monitoring ### Efficiently monitor the subnets in your LAN ![LAN monitoring software - ManageEngine OpManager](https://cdn.manageengine.com/network-monitoring/images/lanmonitoring-subnets.png) OpManger allows you to classify the devices in your LANs based on their subnets. The devices, once categorized, are available under their corresponding subnets under the subnets tab in the inventory. Classifying devices based on their subnets provides you greater flexibility in monitoring and managing the devices in your LAN. Once a LAN device is grouped into a particular subnet, you can click on the subnet and do the following: - View detailed information about all the devices under a subnet including their status and number of connected interfaces. - You can view more details about a device on the device snapshot page in a single click. - Manage the devices under a subnet, generate reports for a specific set of devices under a subnet, change monitoring intervals, and associate [device templates](https://www.manageengine.com/network-monitoring/device-discovery/?lan-mon) and credentials to either individual devices or a group of devices under a particular subnet - all from a single screen. - No need to classify devices into subnets manually - just specify the netmask during device discovery and OpManager will automatically do the classification. ## LAN visualization ### Visualize your LAN for better monitoring ![LAN health and availability monitor - ManageEngine OpManager](https://cdn.manageengine.com/network-monitoring/images/wireless-packet-loss-monitor.png) OpManager comes with a host of [network visualization](https://www.manageengine.com/network-monitoring/network-visualization.html?lan-mon) and network diagram tools that you can use to visualize your LAN in real time. These network diagrams range from Layer2Maps which provides a visual representation of your LAN topology to business views and floor views. The network diagrams help you to gain an in-depth understanding of your LANs and also provide you with a visual interface that you can use to monitor and manage your LANs more effectively. ## Related resources ### Featured - [LAN management](https://www.manageengine.com/network-monitoring/lan-management.html?lan-mon) - [WAN management](https://www.manageengine.com/network-monitoring/wan-management.html?lan-mon) - [Wireless monitoring](https://www.manageengine.com/network-monitoring/wireless-monitoring.html?lan-mon) ### Quick links - [Blogs](https://blogs.manageengine.com?lan-mon) - [E-books](https://www.manageengine.com/network-monitoring/ebooks.html?lan-mon) - [Videos](https://www.manageengine.com/network-monitoring/videos.html?lan-mon) - [Case studies](https://www.manageengine.com/network-monitoring/customer-recommends.html?lan-mon) - [Awards and Recognitions](https://www.manageengine.com/network-monitoring/network-software-review.html?lan-mon) ### Additional resources - [VLAN monitoring](https://blogs.manageengine.com/corporate/general/2022/05/19/vlan-monitoring-in-opmanager.html?lan-mon) - [VLAN vs VXLAN](https://www.manageengine.com/network-monitoring/tech-topics/vxlan-vs-vlan.html?lan-mon) - [How to configure device templates](https://www.manageengine.com/network-monitoring/help/device-templates.html?lan-mon) ## Case Studies - OpManager ### Hinduja Global Solutions saves $3 million a year using OpManager - **Industry:** IT Hinduja Global Solutions (HGS) is an Indian business process management (BPM) organization headquartered in Bangalore and part of the Hinduja Group.
