Router IP Console is a simple in usage SNMP-based tool intended for management and control of active network equipment (such as IP routers, repeaters etc). The program supports an additional functions of Cisco(r) specific routers and Windows NT4/2000/XP/2003 SNMP agent. General features: supervises the basic and extended parameters of the router and its interfaces; SNMP GET BULK request can be used; raise alarms on critical situations (router's CPU overload, router's RAM exhausted, interface go to 'down' state) and send alert via e-mail; act as SYSLOG daemon: receive and log SYSLOG messages; receive, analyze and log SNMP traps; repeaters monitoring, control of repeater's ports; searching of MAC addresses; ping monitoring; TCP connection table monitoring; SNMP parameter history, graph and log; export data to Excel. Cisco(r) intended features: Show current running config; CPU and memory load monitoring; environmental monitoring; IP accounting monitoring; description for router's interfaces; interface load monitoring; basic support for voice interfaces. Windows NT4/2000/XP/2003 intended features: show installed software table; show processes table.

SI Trace
$0 - WinCatalog.com

If you cannot connect to a computer over a network, there might be something wrong with the remote PC or with your Internet connection. Or your router might need a reset. Or your Internet provider could be having a temporarily problem that they'll eventually solve. Or maybe it's the fault of one of the routers, switches, access points, servers, or other network hosts that are in between you and the remote computer. How would you know for sure?

In the beginning of the Internet, a tool called traceroute was introduced in Unix. Traceroute does exactly what its name suggests: it traces the route of IP packets while they travel from your PC to the remote destination. The tool essentially allows you to see exactly where the connectivity problem is, no matter how far it is from your computer. The last host to respond to traceroute is the last host that is working properly. The first one that fails to respond is the faulty one.

There is a free tool called tracert.exe that comes with most versions of Windows. You can use this tool to traceroute the remote PC. To use tracert.exe, you would typically invoke a command line, which would open a black console window, and type tracert.exe followed with the IP address of the computer you want to check. Usually you would get a response right in the console window in a matter of seconds. You get the response in a Spartan-looking black console window.

While there's nothing particularly wrong in using the supplied tracert.exe, we at Soft Institute wrapped the same thing into a much more convenient package. SI Trace provides clearly legible, well-formatted output by providing easy to understand numbers and well-explained results. It displays all the vital information from classic Unix traceroute and Windows tracert commands, and allows you to check more than one computer by simply selecting the address from a combo box. Thanks to its user-friendly interface, it is much more convenient to use than Windows tracert.

It displays routing table, ARP table, interface table, system information, interface details and many other important parameters. Router Console also fetches IP accounting data, memory table, process table, running configuration from your Cisco Network Devices like routers and switches. Using this software network administrator can see the number of bytes and packets switched through the Cisco IOS software on a source and destination IP address basis.
In addition to these features Router Console displays various graphs like interface graphs, cpu utilization graph, bandwidth graphs, memory graphs etc

Features:

1) Displays routing table, interface table, ARP table, interface details, system details.
2) Displays various interface graphs like interface traffic graph, percentage bandwidth utilization, I/O error, packet discard graph etc.
3) Provides information about all interfaces with their active (green) and inactive (red) status.
4) With Router Console you can monitor and manage unlimited number of switches and routers at a same time.
5) Supports SNMP version 1 and version 2c.
6) RouterConsole provide facility of sorting of tables in many ways.
7) RouterConsole provide facility of resolving IP-Address to their corresponding DNS Name by reverse DNS lookup.
8) All tables can be exported to plain text format or CVS format which can be easily exported to database systems like Oracle/MS SQL Server/MS Access etc.
9) All graphs can be exported in BMP image format.
10) Provide auto refresh facility of IP-Accounting table.

Cisco intended features

Show current running configuration, and tables like ip-accounting, memory, process, interface etc.

TraceRoute Wizard ActiveX
$199 - Seekford Solutions, inc

Trace Route Wizard allows a programmer to trace the route a packet must take to get to any specified address(IP or FQDN). It is very intuitive and straight forward. Fully ActiveX compliant, Trace Route Wizard also is setup to be used excellently in ASP scripted pages, or any ActiveX compliant scriptable languages because it has methods that utilize events and special methods that let you step through the process. You also get an immense amount of information regarding each Hop and also supports multiple attempts per hop. All of the functionality of the program that comes with Windows tracert.exe plus much more. You get information like: Time To Live of Returned Packets Packet Data Size of returned packets Round Trip Time of hop attempts Average, Minimum, and Maximum Round Trip Times of entire Hops plus much more You can also set how everything happens, like: Amount of time to wait per Hop attempt How many attempts per Hop Maximum Hops to check Amount of data to send in trace packets plus much more A lot of computer users know about the TraceRt program that comes with windows and Unix. It is a handy tool for figuring out where the network latency is coming from by show the exact path a packet has to take from the local machine to the target server. By looking at each step in the path, you can see where the packet is getting tied up and which routers are overloaded or antiquated. TraceRoute Wizard gives you all of this power and lets you put it right into your application. It is great for network monitoring applications, network diagnostics, latency checkups, and many more projects. This control works with any ActiveX container and even works in ActiveX scriptable languages such as VBScript

School Bus Driver and Route Schedules
$249 - Shift Schedules

Need help scheduling your school bus fleet to daily routes and assigning qualified drivers to those buses and routes? This Excel spreadsheet keeps track of which drivers are qualified for each route and lets you assign them to two shifts a day (morning and afternoon or any other 2 shifts) each day for a month. Built-in logic keeps you from assigning unqualified drivers to routes and also prevents you from assigning drivers to overlapping shifts. When you are finished assigning buses to routes and drivers to buses, simply click a button to send the schedule to everyone by e-mail. It just can't get any easier than that. No more missed routes and no more assigning drivers to routes they are not qualified to navigate. Spreadsheets are available for 50, 100, 200 and 300 buses and drivers and 100, 200, 400 and 500 routes. You can download any of these spreadsheets and use them on a free trial basis for evaluation.
