Chapter 2: Creating Network Maps
With WhatsUp Gold, you can use one of the automatic methods to quickly create a map of your network; then you can start monitoring your network immediately, using the default properties that WhatsUp Gold assigned to the map and the individual network devices.
However, you'll probably want to customize WhatsUp Gold so it polls your network in exactly the way that best suits your needs. This chapter describes how to do the following steps to create your map:
- Create a network map using one or more WhatsUp tools
or techniques.
- View and edit the default properties for network devices
(hosts, servers, etc.).
- View and edit the default map properties.
- Use Edit Mode to visually organize your network map.
