Discover ACI Data in NetworkBrain

Before visualizing an ACI Network, you must first discover the network ACI data model (Single Site or Multi Site) in a NetworkBrain domain.

  1. In the Domain Management page, select Discover.
  2. Click +Select API Servers and select the API Controller that you have configured.
    Information Note: To perform a multi-site discovery, you must select MSO as API Server. Then all sites belonging to the MSO can be auto-discovered by NetworkBrain.

  3. Click Start Discovery.

     
    Information

    Note: The discovery for ACI networks 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-Updating ACI Data in NetworkBrain through Benchmark for details.
    Information

    Tip: If certain policies of your ACI data model must be retrieved via CLI commands, you need to configure CLI login credentials on Leaf and Spine Switches to provide the required inputs for path calculation.
