Types of Dynamic Maps On-Demand Maps » Task specific maps that leverage the network model to build in real-time o Search and Extend: » Search for any operational or configuration-based network data to create a map » Link multiple devices, and extend neighbors based on L 2 -L 3 topology (IPv 4, IPv 6 capable) o Application Path (A-B): » Use source and destination Layer-4 info to identify the actual path between 2 points » Evaluate ACL, PBR, VRF-aware, MPLS, IPSEC, NAT, and more 19 | Copyright Net. Brain® Container Maps » Dynamically defined maps that allow for flexible grouping of devices being used frequently o Sites: » View geographical grouping of devices » Automatically creates a topology view that shows physical connectivity between sites » Hierarchical view showing relationships between containers o Device Groups: » Stand-alone maps most often used to track like devices, non-compliance, and project status

Network Context Maps Automatically generated maps based on the following filters o Physical Network » Device Type, Routing Protocol, Virtualization o Cisco ACI » Fabric Pod, Tenant, Application Centric o VMware ESXi » Hosts and Clusters o VMware NSX-V *Visit Net. Brain University for more information about Context Maps 20 | Copyright Net. Brain®

Creating a Dynamic Map from a Search o Search Keywords: » Hostname and IP address (full or partial): 192. 168, 192. 168. 1. 10, Bos-Core-6500, Bos» Network segment: 192. 168. 1. 1/24 » Configurations: OSPF, area 0, ipv 6, snmp, private » Property or inventory data: type (ASA), IOS version (15. 6), location (New York), etc. » Name and property of Map, Site, Device Group, Path, Dashboard and etc. » Search specific objects: device: $hostname, vrf: $vrfname, ospf area $area_id, etc. » Regex ^ (beginning of the string) , $ (end of the string) o Actions from Search Result Pane: » View device detail data » Map a device and/or its neighbors 21 | Copyright Net. Brain®

Use Neighbor Extension to Expand the Map On-Demand o L 3 neighbors are discovered from configuration files: » Devices connected to the same subnet » Devices connected to the same MPLS cloud » Devices connected directly by a Serial link » Devices connected via IPsec VPN, unnumbered interfaces, etc. o L 2 neighbors are calculated from CDP/LLDP, MAC and ARP tables: » An end host connected to a port of this switch » A router with an interface connected to a port of this switch » A switch with at least one port connected to ports of this switch 22 | Copyright Net. Brain® L 3 and L 2 links can be drawn in the same Map page!

Frequently Used Operations on Map o Auto Layout o Zooming in/out » Scroll mouse forward to zoom in and backward to zoom out o Tip windows » Hover an object such as an interface or routing protocol o Map tools » Select an area » Print » Undo (Ctrl-Z) » Redo (Ctrl-Y) 23 | Copyright Net. Brain®

Site Map Overview o Devices are grouped together based on location or group function. » Branch, Core, and Data Center o Devices included in a site are controlled by administrators » Can be defined dynamically based on similar syntax available for search » Devices belong to a single site map by default o All users view the same map with complete history of activities 24 | Copyright Net. Brain®

Smart CLI • Easier access to CLI (still a must-have tool) – directly from map, with auto-login • Record CLI output (e. g. show command) to Net. Brain runbook with one click • Turn static CLI output (text) into “smart variables” for automation (e. g. monitor every device in map) 25 | Copyright Net. Brain®

Interacting with On-Demand Data Views – Instant Qapp o Any variable that has been parsed from a CLI command, SNMP, retrieved via API Integration, or part of Net. Brain’s Discovery and Benchmark function can be added to the map on-demand. » Using alerts, data can be transformed into information » Saving as a Qapp makes retrieving information, a sharable asset. 3 26 | Copyright Net. Brain®

Interacting with On-Demand Data Views – Qapp o Built-in and custom automation applications act as a “force amplifier” for Engineers and Runbook building blocks » Automate troubleshooting, design analysis, neighbor checking, and reporting tasks with a push of a button CLI mining multiplied by number of devices 27 | Copyright Net. Brain® Net. Brain Qapp across a Dynamic Map

Export to Word o All Map and Device details can be exported into a Word document for reporting and documentation needs » Net. Brain can embed Visio diagrams and. xlsx spreadsheets within Word doc 28 | Copyright Net. Brain®

Export to Microsoft Visio o All Map details can be exported into Visio diagrams to share outside of the Net. Brain platform » As displayed below, the Net. Brain map is easily exported to a static Visio diagram (. vsdx) 29 | Copyright Net. Brain®
