LAN Management Software

ManageEngine OpManager: All-inclusive LAN software

OpManager is a comprehensive LAN manager software that proactively monitors networking devices in your LAN. With OpManager, you can oversee network configurations, examine firewall logs, troubleshoot network issues, and analyze network traffic—all from a unified console. OpManager can be tailored to meet your LAN network management needs as it enables you to monitor 10 devices to 30,000 devices, and multiple LANs all out of the box.

LAN management tool for network operation

Every organization's approach towards business operations is unique, and so is its network infrastructure. Since LANs are becoming more intricate than ever with new computing technologies such as hyper converged infrastructure, LAN management should also be.

What organizations really need are tailored LAN management solutions that can be fully customized to suit their needs, from time to time. An internal administration team utilizing a versatile and robust LAN management software is better aligned with an organization's goal than a generic service from a LAN management provider that oversees hundreds of other LANs concurrently. This is why dedicated LAN management systems or infrastructure management systems are preferred.

Only with a comprehensive LAN management system like OpManager can these vital needs be addressed, as it provides critical insights for multiple aspects of a LAN, including LAN device performance, LAN traffic analysis, LAN configuration, and firewall management.

LAN inventory management

OpManager maintains an inventory of all devices and interfaces in your LAN, and collects information such as IP address, DNS name, vendor, OS version, system description, monitoring protocol, device health, traffic counter, and more. OpManager automatically discovers the devices in your LAN and updates the LAN inventory at specified intervals. You can also sort LAN devices by Discovered Time which helps you keep tabs on devices connected to your LAN, and quickly discover unauthorized access to your LAN.

Monitoring LAN health and performance

The health of a LAN essentially comes down to the health of its networking hardware. With OpManager, you can monitor network devices such as switches, routers, servers, virtual environments, firewalls, printers, and storage devices. OpManager provides critical insights through more than 2,000 performance metrics that help you identify network device performance degradation before services are impacted. Additionally, OpManager monitors LAN technology such as Ethernet and 230 different interface types. It also monitors wireless devices in your LAN such as access points, wireless routers, switches, and more, making Wireless LAN management (WLAN management) simple and complete.

LAN configuration management

A major threat to the stability of the LAN is a lack of details about configurations, since configurations ensure network devices function properly. OpManager allows you to backup the existing LAN configurations, and track the who, when, and what of configuration changes in real time. With OpManager, you can also approve, restore, and automate your LAN configuration changes making LAN management super simple and time-saving.

Prevent attacks on your LAN

  • Firewall monitoring and management

A firewall protects your LAN infrastructure by blocking trojans, spyware, and other malicious programs, and is governed by specific firewall rules and policies. With OpManager, you can monitor firewall rules, manage firewall policies, and track firewall logs to improve your LAN security.

With OpManager, you can monitor your VPN by tracking the number of active VPN sessions, VPN tunnel status, and VPN tunnels count in real time, and also receive instant alerts on VPN connection regularities making your local area network secure and keeping your remote productivity issues at bay.
