With a variety of discovery methods like SNMP, CDP, ICMP and WMI, SolarWinds Network Topology Mapper helps you have an up-to-date map of all your routers, switches, firewalls, servers, desktops, and workstations. Featuring industry standard symbology for network nodes, NTM supports multiple options for map alignment with improved Etherchannel support and representation, ability to create multiple maps from a single scan and many more.

This video highlights four network monitoring basic tools for small business customers.

SolarWinds Network Topology Mapper (NTM) helps you automate network discovery and mapping, saving man hours. With a variety of discovery methods like SNMP, CDP, ICMP and WMI, NTM helps you have an up-to-date map of all your routers, switches, firewalls, servers, desktops, and workstations. SolarWinds Network Topology Mapper enables you to export the maps to a variety of formats including Visio, PNG, Network Atlas and PDF for easier documentation. With NTM, you can have up-to-date network diagrams to comply with PCI, HIPAA and other regulatory requirements.

AI agents are becoming a core part of modern network operations — but what does it actually take to build and deploy them effectively? In this session from AI for Network Leaders – Powered by Selector, Joby Rudolph and James Schnebly break down how AI agents are designed, implemented, and applied in real-world network environments. They cover: This session provides a practical look at how AI agents are moving from concept to production — and what it takes to make them work at scale.

AI can’t fix bad data. In this session from AI for Network Leaders – Powered by Selector, Michael Wynston breaks down a critical truth: the success of AIOps depends on the quality, consistency, and trustworthiness of your network data. Using real-world lessons from Fiserv’s large-scale network transformation, he explores how teams can build a strong data foundation that enables AI to deliver meaningful, low-noise outcomes.

The path to intelligent network operations isn’t a straight line. In this session from AI for Network Leaders – Powered by Selector, Eric Chou shares hard-earned lessons from over 100 conversations with network engineers and operators navigating automation, complexity, and the shift toward AI-driven operations. He covers: This session is a practical field guide for teams looking to move from reactive firefighting to building an AI-ready network foundation.

AI is rapidly transforming network operations — but what does it actually take to build an AI stack that works in production? In this session from AI for Network Leaders – Powered by Selector, Surya Nimmagadda breaks down how modern AI systems for network operations are designed, deployed, and used today. He covers: This session is designed for network engineers, architects, and operators looking to move beyond theory and understand how AI is being applied in real production environments.
