WhatsUp Gold WhatsConnected plug-in for WhatsUp Gold provides layer 2/3
network discovery and topology mapping to visually depict device connectivity
down to the individual port. It also employs deep device scanning that provides
detailed Information about discovered devices in a simple device list view, a device
category view, and a detailed topology view. You can publish any of the network
maps as a network diagram in Microsoft® Visio or export detailed device information
to WhatsUp Gold to automate the creation of detailed network topology map views.
WhatsConnected also includes Layer 2 Trace and IP/MAC Finder tools to validate
connection paths and report real-time availability data on devices. For more

WhatsUp Gold VoIP Monitor plug-in for WhatsUp Gold measures your network's

parameters including jitter, packet loss, latency, and other performance values. The
plug-in’s full integration with WhatsUp Gold allows you to easily view graphs and
metrics for bandwidth and interface utilization and troubleshoot network issues that
