Why OpUtils is crucial for your network

Missing IP/DNS context

Flow anomalies show you what happened, but without hostname, MAC, or DNS identity, you can’t tell who or which device caused it, slowing down RCA.

Limited DHCP visibility

Conflicts, scope exhaustion, or misallocated IPs remain hidden until they cause outages, because flow data alone can't reveal DHCP health.

No switch-level visibility

Traffic issues can’t be tied back to the exact switch port or endpoint, making device tracing, fault isolation, and physical troubleshooting far slower.

Unseen rogue devices

Unknown MACs can join the network, consume bandwidth, or cause security issues, but remain invisible without real-time discovery and port mapping.

Integrating OpUtils with NetFlow Analyzer lets you gain complete DDI visibility, map devices to switch ports, correlate traffic with IP, DNS, and DHCP, and detect rogue devices - all from a single console for faster, more accurate troubleshooting.

Experience integrated bandwidth and DDI management from a single console

Real-time IP address management

OpUtils’ IP Address Management (IPAM) module within NFA provides complete visibility and control over your IP space:

  • Automatically discover all IPs and subnets across your network.
  • Monitor IP statuses like used, available, transient, or conflicted in real-time.
  • Integrate with DHCP servers to prevent lease exhaustion and conflicts.
  • Identify and reclaim unused IP addresses to optimize allocation.

Centralized DHCP and DNS visibility

Simplify DDI management by monitoring Microsoft DHCP and DNS servers directly from the NFA console:

  • View DHCP scopes, leases, and utilization in real-time.
  • Discover DNS zones and records and manage name resolution data centrally.
  • Correlate DHCP lease and DNS record details with IP and flow information for faster troubleshooting.

Instant switch port visibility

The Switch Port Mapper module in OpUtils delivers detailed insights into switch-level connectivity right within the NFA console:

  • Map IP and MAC addresses to exact switch ports.
  • View vendor details, port status, and last scan timestamps.
  • Get a real-time inventory of devices across all switch ports.
  • Identify inactive, misused, or unauthorized port usage.
Instant switch port visibility

Rogue device detection and instant alerts

Strengthen network security with OpUtils by proactively identifying unauthorized devices within the NetFlow Analyzer's console:

  • Scan for unknown or unauthorized MAC and IP addresses.
  • Receive real-time alerts when rogue devices are detected.
  • Pinpoint the device’s exact switch and port for rapid response.

All-in-one dashboard experience

OpUtils integrates seamlessly into the NetFlow Analyzer console, eliminating the need to switch between tools. With everything in one place, you can:

  • Correlate IP status with traffic patterns in a single view.
  • Map devices to switch ports while investigating flow anomalies.
  • Detect and trace rogue systems during performance diagnostics.
