InterMapper shows detailed status about any item on a map (a device, a network, or a link) in a Status window, as shown in the Device Status window below.
To view device, network, or link status:
To keep a Status window open:
If you are using a custom TCP or SNMP probe, you can override the default contents of a Status window. For more information, see Custom Probes and Customizing Status Windows in the Developer Guide.
The window shows the device name, network address, device status, the probe used to poll it, up-time (i.e., SNMP sysUptime, if available), availability (the percentage of the time the device was available based on the number of packets lost while testing), round-trip time (in msec), and spanning tree status (if available).
When the device reports a problem, the reason for the most important error is shown in red at the bottom of the Status window.
The network status window shows the network's IP address and subnet mask,
(if available) and information about the amount of traffic flowing on that network segment.
This data comes from all the SNMP devices attached to that network
oval.
Note: The traffic statistic shown are only for devices connected to this network that speak SNMP: Ping/Echo, or TCP-based devices (such as HTTP, FTP, etc. probes) do not have this information and are ignored when computing the sums and maximums displayed in the Status Window.
The link status window shows the link's interface name and description, its type (10 or 100 Mbps, 1.5 Mbps T-1, etc.), its status and up-time, its IP and MAC addresses (when available), traffic statistics (transmitted from and received by the interface), and the time since the last poll.
Tip: Certain devices do not report their link speed accurately in their SNMP responses. This causes InterMapper to report a value which is not actually correct. To work around this, switch the map to Edit mode, then right-click the link and choose Set Link Speed... The Set Link Speed window appears, allowing you to set Transmit and Receive speeds.
