Live Network Mapping
 InterMapper’s network maps present live, at-a-glance hierarchical or geographic views of your network devices and interfaces. Right-clicking on devices or links opens underlying NetFlow analysis (as well as sFlow, cFlow, jFlow) collected at the one-second interval.
Live network mapping features include:
- color-coded icons to indicate devices that are slow or having problem and status badges that indicate severity level (down, alarm, warning, critical)
- intuitive animation to depict real-time network traffic flows and provide a direct link to NetFlow and sFlow data
- interconnections between routers, switches
- network elements appear in physical or geographic locations
- multiple views to highlight device details, interconnections, and staff assignments
- map "slideshows" that rotate at user-defined intervals to show NOC staff the state of all maps
- right-click access to integrated NetFlow analysis.
Submaps allow you to display detailed information about a part of your network: a geographic region, a building, the network backbone, etc.
Submap features include:
- icons on top-level map to show state of most serious condition on a sub-map
- submaps hosting on a remote InterMapper server
- access control via username and password or IP address restrictions
- submaps work across direct IP connections and VPNs and through firewalls (through a user-selected port) to allow viewing via browser without exposing network details to the broader Internet
Google Earth
InterMapper allows you to display information about your network as a layer or place in Google Earth. To be displayed in Google Earth, a device must have geographic information (lat/long coordinates).
- Devices are represented by their status badges (green, yellow, orange, red circle icons)
- Networks ovals are shown as cloud icons.
- Links between devices are shown as lines.
- Status windows for each of these items are displayed when you click on them
- Each map is represented as one of the "Places" at the left side of Google Earth
