I was tossing the idea around and thought the ability to link network maps would be a great feature but am not seeing any way to do so, and searching the forums came up empty. What I’d really like to is to have a visible map of our overall network (APs, backhauls, servers, etc.), and then link each AP/tower site to another network map that includes each client that is connected to that AP. Can this be done, or would I have to wait for a future version to include this? If I put all of our clients onto one map with our existing infrastructure, this map will get really crowded.
Hey James, have you trying using submaps? I was just working on v2 beta 3 and I was able to link a few of my customers sites together. I don’t know if that is what you are looking for. There is an Agent feature which allow me to sort of going through vpn tunnel to index and to build up their maps. The Agent feature is locate in the setting button on the top of the main menu.
Submaps sounds like the function you’re looking for…
A submap will summarise the number of devices up/partially down/down, and double clicking or hovering over the submap will take you to the detailed submap…
You can also create submaps in submaps, either as completely new maps or linked to any other map/submap…
Jamesn, may be you can create the submaps and name each one with your AP name. Then under each submap, you build out your subnetwork. That’s how I build up mine. I don’t know if all your sites are link together or all seperate with their own subnet masks. The area you want to start looking into is ‘Setting’ and then ‘Agents’. Then you add the outside ip address to the remote network. Make sure you have 2210 & 2211 open on the firewall. Once you made the connection, you can then build the submaps by using the newly created agent to scan and build up the remote network. It works almost like a vpn tunnel. Hope this helps.
I was somewhat intrigued by the Dude Agent option, but since I’m using the stable release (2.1 right now) and the Agent was added to the 3.0 beta, that’s not an immediately available option. I’ve thought about trying out the beta, but there didn’t seem to be any “make or break” features for me yet, and I haven’t spent the time to see how well the beta works yet. If the dude agent could open an http session and then relay that to a remote client, I’d be all over it That way I could open up access to our Dude server and use it to administer all of our wireless devices behind NAT translation.
The default port for dude is 2210,2211 to communicate. I suppose you can change it to http and something eles. I just open up 2210,2211 on the firewall to allow dude traffic to go through. I am now able to monitoring my clients network up to certain extends.
