What kind of software do network engineers usually use to work? In fact, there are many Amway on the Internet.
Lao Yang listed some of the software he usually likes to use, hoping to give Amway to friends in need and improve your work efficiency.
You have already involved tools, so how can you still verify it hahaha.
What kind of software do network engineers usually use to work? In fact, there are many Amway on the Internet.
I see that many people have answered this question, and it is still very comprehensive to gather together.
Lao Yang will add a little more detail. If you like it, remember to bookmark it and give it a thumbs up.
01 SecureCRT
Equipment debugging is inseparable from it, a software that is frequently mentioned on the whole network. Secure CRT is an ideal tool for connecting remote systems running Windows, UNIX and VMS, and it is also one of the necessary software for remote login switches.
SecureCRT supports serial (console), telnet, ssh debug logging and other functions, or putty open source software, most functions of crt are supported, but the interface is not very friendly.
It supports SSH, telnet, serial and other protocols, and the use of Activator tray greatly reduces desktop clutter.
02 eNSP
eNSP (Enterprise Network Simulation Platform) is a free, scalable, graphical network simulation tool platform provided by Huawei.
Before the project is implemented, the network configuration simulation of the project can be carried out. When implementing the project, you can know it well. It is a very practical software, and it is basically used by all those who are engaged in network-related projects.
eNSP supports operations such as topology creation, modification, deletion, and saving, as well as device dragging and interface connection operations. It can preset a large number of engineering cases, which can be directly opened for drill learning.
It can also simulate most of the features of Huawei AR routers and x7 series switches; simulate PC terminals, Hubs, clouds, frame relay switches, etc.
The advantage of this simulator is that the types of equipment are relatively comprehensive, there are many types of equipment, and the usage examples and related documents are also given.
03 cisco packet tracer
Packet Tracer is a simulation software developed by Cisco for its CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate, Cisco Certified Network Associate) certification for Cisco Networking Academy to design, configure and troubleshoot networks.
It is very suitable for beginners to use the network. It can not only efficiently build a network experiment environment, but also provide you with the composition and transmission of data at each layer of the network, and the processing of various frames or packets.
It supports many devices, and each device provides many types of devices. For those who have never seen real devices, this is still helpful.
But its user interface is a bit complicated, and the characters are still small. If you are not familiar with it, it will take more time to get used to it.
04 xshell
Xshell is a powerful and secure terminal emulator that supports SSH, SFTP, TELNET, RLOGIN and SERIAL. Xshell can be used under the Windows interface to access remote servers under different systems, so as to better achieve the purpose of remote control of the terminal, generally speaking, it is remote control.
The users are mainly network administrators of large enterprises, network server managers of research institutes and universities, and technical homeboys. Girls generally don’t use it because the interface is too ugly.
If you can't find the free version of xshell, FinalShell is also okay, it is a domestic software.
05 Wireshark
Wireshark is a network protocol detection program that supports Unix and Windows. It can detect network communication data in real time and detect the snapshot files of network communication data captured by it.
Network administrators use Wireshark to detect network problems, network security engineers use Wireshark to check information security-related issues, developers use Wireshark to debug new communication protocols, and ordinary users use Wireshark to learn about network protocols... So, it is really popular.
06 Tmux
tmux is an excellent terminal multiplexing software, similar to GNU Screen, licensed by BSD, generally used for Terminal window management.
The most intuitive advantage of using it is that after logging in to the remote host through a terminal and running tmux, multiple consoles can be opened in it without "wasting" extra terminals to connect to the remote host.
However, tmux has a bug that causes the copy and paste shortcuts of vscode launched from it to fail.
07 FileZilla
FileZilla is a free and open source FTP client software, divided into client version and server version, with all FTP software functions. Controllability, organized interface and simplified way to manage multiple sites make FileZilla client a convenient and efficient FTP client tool, while FileZilla Server is a compact and reliable FTP server software that supports FTP&SFTP.
08 Cacti
Cacti is a set of graphical analysis tools for network traffic monitoring developed based on PHP, MySQL, SNMP and RRDTool.
Its main function is to use the snmp service to obtain data, then use rrdtool to store and update the data, and use rrdtool to generate charts and present them to users when they need to view the data.
However, using cacti requires some knowledge of using net-snmp and rrdtool. If you want to customize the monitoring indicators, you also need certain shell script or xml language capabilities.
09 winscp
WinSCP is an open source graphical SFTP client using SSH in a Windows environment, and an open source file transfer software that supports multiple protocols.
It also supports the SCP protocol. Its main function is to copy files securely between local and remote computers. winscp can also link to other systems, such as linux systems.
At the same time, it supports SFTP, SCP, FTP and other protocols for user convenience. If you need to transfer files by FTP and hand, or use SCP to connect to the server, you can choose it. It is open source, free of charge and free of ads, and is recommended.
1 billion graph
Many people are using visio, so Lao Yang recommends a new software here.
Similar to Visio, Edraw is a vector-based drawing tool that contains a large number of case libraries and template libraries. It is very convenient to draw various professional business flow charts, organization charts, business charts, program flow charts, data flow charts, engineering management charts, software design charts, network topology charts, etc.
It adopts full drag-and-drop operation, combined with more than 4,600 commonly used graphic template libraries and user-defined example libraries, to simplify your workload to the greatest extent.
Edraw is perfectly compatible with the advantages of Visio. If you are tired of using Visio, switch to Edraw. There may be surprises.
11 CAD mini view
CAD Mini Viewer is a tool for quickly viewing CAD drawings, available in Android, iOS and PC versions. The software can view, mark, measure distance, take pictures and record the CAD drawings, and it can be used offline, which is very convenient.
CAD quick view only needs about 20M disk space, and DWG drawings open the fastest and display the smoothest.
In addition, the interface is extremely simple and easy to operate, and many people are using it. Chinese and Rebar fonts are displayed correctly, no need to install any fonts.
