After network discovery, 3Com Network Supervisor maps the topology (structure) of the network. This software removes the work and possibility of error by analyzing the network, identifying the nodes, and working out the interconnectivity between them.

The application also allows the network manager to monitor the stress on selected components on the network. 3Com Network Supervisor alerts the network manager if any activity exceeds predefined thresholds. It can also interpret this data and recalibrate thresholds to reflect current network activity.
