Questions answered
- What are the main differences between the Netool.io Pro2 and Lite, and which use cases suit each device?
- The Pro2 adds PCAP capture, port configuration, ARP scanning, and more advanced switch configuration options, making it better for complex diagnostics and scripting scenarios. The Lite covers core troubleshooting tasks like IP/DHCP detection, basic port scanning, and general network checks, which suffices for most straightforward testing and validation tasks.
- Can Netool.io devices test Ethernet cables or provide cable testing features?
- Based on the video content, cable testing is not implemented in these models, and reviewers note that it would be a valuable addition. The current feature set focuses on network diagnostics, port configuration, and cloud-based data access.
