The NetMaster team is pleased to announce a new release of the NetMaster Web Portal, featuring an enhanced user interface and better visibility into TCP/IP connection data. The new release (LU06059) promotes more efficient network troubleshooting and problem resolution for your organization.
The enhanced user interface includes:
- Collapsible side navigation that optimizes screen space.
- A new Use Dark Mode toggle on the User Profile menu that allows you to change the interface from the default dark-on-light to a light-on-dark visualization (dark mode). Click the toggle to switch between modes.
- A new Active/Total toggle on the Connection Summary page. By default, only active connections appear on the page. However, when troubleshooting, you might want to see additional connection information. The Total view displays information on three types of connections: active connections, completed connections, and connections that were reset by a zERT policy.
Being able to quickly access the count of reset connections is a valuable troubleshooting tool for mainframe network administrators who have defined zERT policy-based enforcement policies. For more information, refer to the
View a Real-time Summary of Mainframe Connections article on the Broadcom Tech Docs Portal.
In addition to the user interface enhancements, the
NetMaster Connection Details page now provides network administrators with the ability to access several kinds of critical connection-specific detail on a single page.
- Connection details for specific connection types, including FTP, Telnet, and CICS, are now available. When you select a connection in one of these categories, the page displays the application-specific properties associated with the connection. For more information, refer to the article View Application Data for a Connection.
- For secured connections protected by AT-TLS, zERT TLS, IPSEC, or SSH, the NetMaster Connection Details page now displays AT-TLS, zERT TLS, zERT IPSEC, or zERT SSH information. For more information, refer to the article View Connection Security Details.
- The NetMaster Connection Details page also now includes data flow details for connections, including four new graphs depicting the numbers of bytes and packets transmitted per second over different time spans. Each line graph displays a comparison of remote, local, and total transmissions for the time period. For more information, refer to the article View Connection Details.
Release LU06059 includes several other enhancements, including support for Java 11. For a complete list, see the
