Network Information
Lanview can display network-related information for managed Windows devices and provide basic network maintenance actions where supported.
Network information is useful for support and diagnostics, but it is not a packet capture tool or full network monitoring platform.
Where to view network information
Network information may be available from:
- Device Window > Network.
- Device Window > Hardware Inventory > Network Adapters.
- Device list or group actions such as ping.
- Console diagnostics for Server network interfaces.
Reported data vs live checks
Network adapter information is generally reported inventory or device state.
Ping and similar actions are live checks requested through Lanview.
Supported actions
Supported network-related actions may include:
| Action | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Ping device | Check basic Lanview reachability. |
| Ping group | Run a ping/status check against multiple devices. |
| Flush DNS | Flush the Domain Name System (DNS) cache on a managed device. |
| Renew DHCP | Renew Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) lease information on a managed device. |
| Server network interfaces | Show Server-side network interface diagnostics. |
Exact action names depend on the installed version and UI labels.
Required permissions
| Permission | Allows |
|---|---|
devices.view | View devices and status. |
device.hardware_inventory.view | View network adapter inventory. |
devices.flush_dns | Flush DNS cache on managed devices. |
devices.renew_dhcp | Renew DHCP leases on managed devices. |
Ping may use device or group permissions depending on the command surface.
Audit behaviour
Network diagnostics can include IP addresses, adapter names and other operational details.
Use the command reference and audit documentation for the installed version to confirm audit coverage for ping, DNS flush and DHCP renew.
