One-IP Table

Troubleshoot in natural language, ask diagnostic questions, and receive context-rich responses, dynamic maps, and action plans for streamlined issue resolution.

Unified ‘One-IP’ Table

A single source of truth that includes and acts as a reference for all IP, MAC, switch ports, and many other device-specific details contained in the Digital Twin.

NetBrain’s real-time IP-device mapping engine automatically:
✔ Tracks every IP (configured or observed)
✔ Maps to true L2/L3 gateway devices
✔ Resolves cloud/load balancer/endpoint IPs

Building the One-IP Table

Through automated discovery and the visual parser engine, NetBrain builds a continuously updated, searchable, and AI-usable data set that acts as the authoritative source of truth for IP-device relationships across physical, virtual, and cloud infrastructures.

Table Merges: Combine L2/L3 device data to trace IP associations across network layers.

Instance Keying: Identify and uniquely track each IP/device/interface pairing—even for transient or end-system IPs.

Baseline Comparisons: Detect deviations from expected behavior by comparing the current state to historical baselines.

Use Cases

One-IP Table delivers immediate impact:

Incident Response: Automatically determines the L2/L3 devices for an IP during a service disruption—even if it’s from a remote user or cloud workload.
AI-Powered Troubleshooting: NetBrain’s AI Bot uses the One-IP Table to draw maps, trace paths, and launch diagnostics without needing full context from the user.
Change Validation: Ensures accurate change impact analysis by locating all paths and devices an IP traverses or touches.
