Managing IP addresses is essential in the operation and security of modern computer networks. However, the original IP addressing system based on address classes A, B, and C was extremely inefficient in allocating addresses. Many addresses were wasted, rapidly depleting the available IPv4 space. To address this pressing issue, Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) was introduced in 1993. So, if you’re wondering what is CIDR, read on to learn everything you need to know.

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a standard routing protocol that’s been used the world over for many years. Supported by practically every routing vendor, as well as the open source community, OSPF is one of the few protocols in the IT industry you can count on being available just about anywhere you might need it. Enterprise networks that outgrow a single site will often use OSPF to interconnect their campuses and wide area networks (WANs).

Bro, I ain’t got flow isn’t only heard at your local hip hop mic night. It’s a gripe from many network administrators who have inherited small environments, networks with lower-end gear, or who are in the trenches dealing with a time-sensitive issue and need to dig deep—now. NetFlow is a Layer 3 protocol that, over time, allows administrators to see how much traffic is being generated, by whom, and where that traffic is going.

Despite everyone’s best efforts, network failures happen. And when downtime means lost productivity, fast troubleshooting becomes an integral part of IT operations. So with the addition of SNMP poller history, Auvik providing users an archive for troubleshooting, analysis, and planning. When it comes to managing network issues, diagnosing the root cause is the first step. And often, there’s a gap between when an incident occurs, and when it’s reported. And herein lies a big problem.

When something goes wrong, you need to look through your log messages and figure out important things like which device saw the problem first. This automatically tells you where to start looking for the root cause. If your clocks aren’t synchronized, it becomes much more difficult to correlate log messages between devices. More generally, you want to know if the similar log messages you’re seeing are related to the same incident or if maybe some of them happened much earlier or later.

It’s the middle of the workday and suddenly your IT team starts receiving calls: systems are slow, applications are unresponsive, and productivity grinds to a halt. Before you know it, you’re scrambling to pinpoint the issue and juggling complaints, all while the clock is ticking and downtime costs are piling up. The problem?

When you put Auvik on a network for the first time, the software automatically starts monitoring that network for more than 40 potential issues. When Auvik finds an issue, it triggers an alert. Network alerts range in severity from emergency at the top all the way down to informational. As you work with Auvik, you may see a lot of alerts coming your way. It’s obvious you need to deal with the emergency and critical network alerts. But what about the simple warnings and informational alerts?

By Corey Kirkendoll
One of Auvik’s best and most popular features is its alerting capabilities. It allows my MSP—5K Technical Services—to automate device metric tracking, allowing us to monitor the status of our clients’ networks remotely. This is a huge boost in efficiency. However, right after deploying Auvik on a new client site, the volume of alerts can be a bit overwhelming. Auvik is pre-configured to alert on a list of standard metrics at industry best-practice thresholds.

When a critical system goes down, every second counts. That’s why IT and network professionals need to get comfortable with tracking incident response metrics like MTTR. MTTR (which you’ll soon come to find has several meanings) is a set of key metrics that measure how fast your team can repair and recover from incidents, directly impacting your system uptime and service quality.

Network access control (NAC) is a critical component of any organization’s cybersecurity strategy. As companies adopt increasingly flexible work environments and emerging technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), their networks have expanded rapidly. More users, devices, and access points mean more potential vulnerabilities that attackers could exploit. Implementing NAC solutions lets organizations stay securely connected despite relying on a complex, dynamic infrastructure.

We surveyed 2,000+ IT professionals to examine their evolving roles and departments, including reporting structure, top strategies, time management practices, and ongoing challenges. What we found is that this field continues to face growing demand amid talent shortages, resource limitations, and tool sprawl. The data we’ve collected from both managed service providers and internal IT departments clearly indicate three key insights.

Auvik is cloud-based software that’s changing how networks are managed. Our software gives managed services providers (MSPs) instant visual insight into the infrastructure of their clients’ IT networks and automates complex and time-consuming network management tasks. Put simply, Auvik is changing the capabilities and upgrading the efficiency of network management.
Managing network infrastructure has traditionally been a very manual and time-consuming activity. Before Auvik, administrators were forced to log into network devices one by one using a command-line interface that most of us haven’t seen since DOS disappeared. They’d then type in arcane commands and try to make sense of the flood of data that came back.
Auvik dramatically simplifies the task of network management by making the software do the work. Our system automatically:
- Discovers a network and displays it as a visual map.
- Inventories and documents every device, service, and configuration on a network in real-time.
- Parses, analyzes, and visually displays data to reduce network troubleshooting time.
- Allows remote access to any device on a network from a single screen.
With Auvik, hundreds of normally complex and time-consuming tasks are reduced to simple, automated steps. And it’s all done through a beautiful and easy-to-use interface.
