Advanced Port Scanner

Advanced port scanner provides visibility into what services is running in which port, the number of open ports, connected switches and helps secure networks from unauthorized access. As a network admin, scan your network for open ports, the switches to which these ports have been connected, the services running on them, and associate the known services with the identified services with advanced port scan. Advance port scan tool helps you verify if your services are accessible in the network. In addition, using port scanner, you can associate these ports with your network IP address space with an advanced IP scanner, to gain in-depth IP specific insights on your network interfaces.

Highlights of advanced port scanner

Real-time switch port mapping.

With networks becoming more and more dynamic, the number of switches and ports used to ensure stable network connectivity and information exchange between network resources increases. Network admins are in a constant need of a real-time advanced port scanner to stay up-to date with the status of the network ports, and the services running on them.

OpUtils' advanced port scanner software enables a network admin to efficiently perform this task by supporting port scanning features compatible with the existing network infrastructure. With advanced port scanning, a network admin can scan network ports in real time by manually adding switches, importing from a CSV file, or by discovering all the switches in the given IP range by performing a port scan. Once the switches have been added, the advanced port scanner software displays all the ports that are associated with the corresponding switches and their IPs with the help of network IP scanner

A comprehensive summary of network ports.

OpUtils' advanced port scanner not only traces switches to ports but also continually scans network ports to provide full-fledged visibility into the status and working. The network admin can use advanced port scanner to conduct manual port scan or create automated port scan schedules to obtain real-time summary about the network ports. A network admin can also view the Port Summary by clicking on the port address. This summary displays the details of ifIndex (interface), ifName, ifDesc (description), ifType, Port Speed, Port Availability, Admin Status, and more.

Custom alerts and email notifications.

One of the susceptible entry points into the network by any intruder or rogue are the network ports. Since ports act as a medium that enables communication between the agents in a network, it becomes indispensable to deploy an advanced port scanner software that aid you proactively monitor network ports by raising port scan alerts in case of any undesirable events.

Advanced port scanner tool finds all network entry points available in a target device and helps to secure them. It raises alarms if there are any change in behaviour of the network ports. On port scanning, to make ensure effective troubleshooting, it supports mail servers, which can be configured to receive alerts via email notifications. This allows the network admin to monitor and diagnose a network issue more efficiently. Alerts are generated when:

  1. There is a change in the state of the port from Transient to Available.
  2. There is a change in the state of the port from Available to Used.
  3. Multiple devices are detected in the same port.
  4. The device connected to a port has been changed.
  5. Users move on the network.

Thus a diverse range of alerts helps the admin troubleshoot the port monitoring issues.

Administrative Interface enabling and disabling.

Advanced port Scan provides visibility into what service is running in a target port using port scan. Services listening to a port communicate with a client application, by exchanging data. Malicious agents can exploit this and gain unauthorized access in to the network. From the list of scanned ports, the network admin can enable or disable interfaces using the advanced port scanner tool. Unused interfaces or malicious interfaces in the network can be disabled using the advance port scanner tool to aid in efficient monitoring and management.
