After your ACI network data is discovered and the benchmark task is performed in your domain, the data model is organized in the Network pane.

To view the details and its context maps of a node, proceed with the following steps:

1.Click Network on the taskbar.

2.Select Cisco ACI from the Category list, and then select Network Centric View > Fabric POD View from the View list.

Tip: The network-centric view allows you to see what nodes are part of the ACI fabric and how they connect to the rest of the network.
