Visualize VMware NSX-V Networks

VMware NSX is the network virtualization platform for the Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC), which delivers networking and security entirely in software, abstracted from the underlying physical infrastructure. NetBrain can discover the networks based on VMware NSX-V (for vSphere) and visualize the NSX-V networks on dynamic maps.

Example: A Visualized Topology Map of an NSX-V Distributed Logical Router.

Information

Prerequisites: Make sure the discovery and benchmark of your NSX-V network have been completed.

The general flow of visualizing an NSX-V network in the NetBrain system is as follows:

  1. View your NSX-V network and components.
  2. Calculate Path Across NSX-V Network.
  3. Apply Data View Template to Visualize More Data.

For more information about context maps, refer to Supported Context Maps of NSX-V Nodes.
