Discover NSX-V Network in NetBrain

Before visualizing an NSX-V network, you must first discover the network data model in a NetBrain domain, including NSX Managers, NSX Controllers, Logical Switches, Distributed Logical Routers, and NSX Edges.

Note: An NSX Manager is registered with a vCenter system. The corresponding vCenter Controller must be discovered before discovering the NSX-V Manager. See Discover vCenter Data in NetBrain for more details.

1. Click the Start Menu () in the upper-left corner of your NetBrain desktop and select Discover from the drop-down menu.
2. Click Select API Servers and select NSX that you have configured.
3. Click Start Discovery.
   
   

   Note: If the URL of the NSX Manager entered in the Endpoints field contains a domain name, you must enter the domain name here for discovery.

   Note: The discovery for your NSX-V network only retrieves basic data. After the discovery, you need to execute a benchmark task to retrieve all data and build all components, including visual spaces and data views. See Auto-Update NSX-V Data in NetBrain through Benchmark for details.
