Allegro Network Multimeter Release 3.2

With Release 3.2, Allegro Packets continues to expand the custom dashboard and incident capabilities of Allegro Network Multimeters

Allegro Packets has announced the issue of a new firmware update. Release 3.2 is available immediately for all Allegro Network Multimeter models. It allows users to perform more problem-oriented and customised network troubleshooting. Highlights of the firmware update include enhancements in the user-defined dashboards and an extensive expansion of the incident function.

The Allegro Network Multimeter is a measurement tool produced by Allegro Packets for detailed analysis of network traffic from 1 to 200 Gigabits per second. Allegro Packets is continuously working on new features and enhancements for its appliances, to provide users with easy and fast network troubleshooting options. With Release 3.2, the company has rolled out a firmware update with many new features.

In addition to features such as the incident function with rule-based mechanism and syslog support, users of Allegro appliances can now enable public access to a limited number of statistics. The new multicast group widget for the custom dashboard displays statistics per group, while the QoS widget displays statistics per class. The widgets have also been enhanced with statistics per VLAN, for jitter, packet loss, response times and codes, country statistics, retransmissions, and more.

Configuration tools for editing LAN and Wi-Fi settings directly on the appliance have also been added, plus an offline copy of the Allegro product wiki. Since the new update, there is TACACS+ support as an additional source for user management and a new capture feature 'regexp'. With this, regular expressions can be used to filter packets.
