What are some computer network tools?

Answer 1

Generally, computer networking tools are software programs that network engineers can use to make their jobs easier.

Some tasks performed by network tools:

- network discovery (finding all the computers and routers on the network)

- path tracing (finding the network path to a given computer)

- connectivity testing (finding out if a particular network link is working or not)

- traffic monitoring (watching the traffic on the network, looking for something specific)

- network device management (configuring routers and firewalls)

There are also "computer networking tools" that are actual physical tools, not software.

Here are some of those:

- punchdown tool (terminates network wires to a punchdown block in a wiring closet)

- toner/tracer (toner tool injects a tone onto a wire, tracer tool amplifies the tone signal so you can trace the wire through a wire bundle)

- cable tester (checks a wire for faults)

- TDR, or time domain reflectometer (measures the length of a cable by measuring the time it takes for a signal to bounce off the end and come back)
