Using NetBrain, you should expect yourself a drastic improvement in productivity in the following areas: •Network Discovery and Documentation •Network Troubleshooting •Network Change Verification Please join us in exploring the Top10 Features by Inquiry and the Top10 Features by Popularity. Top-10 Features By Inquiry Top-10 Features By Popularity Top10 Features By Inquiry 1 Simulation 6 Data-driven Map Simulation Network Discovery 2 Network Discovery 7 1 5 2 One-click Network Benchmark 3 3 Application Path Wizard 8 4 Diagnostic Monitoring 9 5 Design Reader 10 Application IP SLA Analyzer Path Wizard Design Reader 4 Diagnostic Monitoring Routing Table Analysis Configuration Management 1. Simulation Simulation engine computes routing table and traffic path based on configuration files. The supported technology includes •Dynamic routing protocol, such as RIP, IGRP, EIGRP, OSPF and BGP. •Traffic and route filtering with ACL •Complex WAN topology such as MPLS When to Use •Troubleshooting traffic path from configuration •Analyze what-ifs 2. Network Discovery When to use: • Network assessment • Before and after network migration The generation-2 discovery engine has human-style intelligence, and excels in • Depth: Discover not only L2/L3 topology, but also network design • Speed: Reach the speed of 800 Inventory Report L2/L3 site map in Visio routers/switches per hour • Visual Output Use Visio map or Q-map for output Device Infomation Annotated Design 3. Application Path Wizard Enter two end points of an application, traffic path is mapped out across •Live network, or •Baselined network, or •Simulated network When to use: •Troubleshooting application problem •Impact analysis of network outage or change 4. Diagnostic Monitoring Troubleshoot slow application with one-click. Real-time data is collected and overlayed on top of map. Data analyzed includes •Device or link up/down status •CPU/Memory utilization •Link utilization, delay and error When To Use: •Troubleshooting slow application •Performance benchmarking Top-talker Alarm Chart 5.Design Reader Design reader extrapolates detail design out of configuration files via customizable templates. Save time in troubleshooting and learn from best practices in design. When to use: •Network Assessment •Troubleshooting 6. Data-driven Map NetBrain’s Q-map is driven by data discovered from network. You never need to manually annotate a map. When you share Qmaps, all data is reserved. When to use: •Network documentation and collaboration 7. One-click Network Benchmark No more worry that you don't know what the network was like yesterday, last week. One-click in workstation, or have NetBrain Appliance recurringly benchmark the entire network. When to use: 1.For comparative troubleshooting 2.Network assessment 8. IPSLA Analyzer Metering your live network for VoIP readiness, or troubleshoot slow application, via Cisco router's IPSLA feature. When to use: • VoIP assessment • Advanced performance troubleshooting 9. Compare Routing Table After configure change or network outage, you need this feature to figure out which network is impacted, which is not. * Troubleshoot network change * Impact analysis of network outage 10.Configuration Management With built-in configuration management feature, it is always one-click away to find out which device's configure is changed and what has been changed When to use: Troubleshooting and Change Verification Top10 Features By Popularity 1 2 Drag-and-drop mapping from configuration Mapping via Traceroute Network Discovery 3 6 Top-talker drill-down 5 One-click Visio 3 4 Design Reader 4 One-IP table for L2Diagnostic connectivity Applic Monitoring ation Path Wizar 5 Automated telnet/SSH d 7 Search 8 Highlight Routing or VLAN 9 Dynamic Zoom 10 Instant Monitoring 1. Drag-and-drop mapping from configuration Drag-and-drop a configuration file or a folder with configuration files into NetBrain, workspace is built and maps are created. It enable engineers to take advantage of NetBrain in seconds When to use: Network assessment Describe network design 2. Mapping via Traceroute Copy and paste trace route results into NetBrain, and map the traffic path with one-click. Use NetBrain’s builtin traceroute to analyze paths from multiple sources. When to use: Troubleshooting connectivity 3. One-click Visio From NetBrain’s data-driven Qmap to fully-annotated Visio map, it takes one-click. The annotation of design is driven by model as well. When to use: Document network Data-driven Qmap L3 Qmap Visio map L2 Qmap Visio map 4.One IP table for L2 connectivity One-IP table, populated by auto-discovery, describes the physical connectivity between end hosts, switch, router and firewall in both table and map format. When to use: Inventory for data center migration L2 troubleshooting 5. Automated Telnet/SSH Enterprise network might have 10 sets of username/password for 1000 network devices. Addding things like jump-box and other security restriction, it can be tedious just to get to the command line of devices. Let NetBrain figure this out for you, and one-click you are in the command line interface. When to use: Troubleshooting Device setting describes how to reach a device, and is automatically populated 6. Top-talker Drill-down After you see a high link-utilization, figuring out who are hogging the bandwidth is simple: Leverage Cisco router’s IP accounting and NetBrain’s visual display When to use: Troubleshooting overloaded link 7. Search Search for an IP address, or a MAC address, or which device has certain configure-let. The result is ready to be drag-and-dropped to a map. When to use: Troubleshooting 8. Highlight Routing or VLAN Color code the L3 map to show routing design (BGP/IGP) and color code the L2 map to show the VLAN design, see below When to use: Network assessment Troubleshooting L3 L2 9. Dynamic Zoom in Map NetBrain’s Qmap encapsulates many network design data. To add or remove details in the map, simply zoom in or out. Intelligent layout ensures the map is always read-able. When to use: Understand network design Document 10. Instant Monitoring From a map to a real-time performance diagnostic report, all it takes is one-click to launch the instant monitoring When to use Performance troubleshooting L2 L3 NetBrain integrates hundreds of powerful features around Qmap.
