NetBrain Workstation is the first map-based troubleshooting and discovery solution. Using NetBrain, you should expect yourself a drastic improvement in productivity in the following areas: • Network Discovery and Documentation • Network Troubleshooting • Network Change Verification Please join us in exploring the Top10 Features by Inquiry and the Top10 Features by Popularity. Top-10 Features By Popularity Top-10 Features By Inquiry
Top10 Features By Inquiry Simulation Simulation Data-driven Map 6 1 Network Discovery Design Reader 5 2 One-click Network Benchmark Network Discovery 7 3 4 IP SLA Analyzer Application Path Wizard 8 Diagnostic Monitoring Application Path Wizard Routing Table Analysis 9 Diagnostic Monitoring 10 Configuration Management Design Reader 5 4 2 1 3
1. Simulation • Simulation engine computes routing table and traffic path based on configuration files. The supported technology includes • Dynamic routing protocol, such as RIP, IGRP, EIGRP, OSPF and BGP. • Traffic and route filtering with ACL • Complex WAN topology such as MPLS • When to Use • Troubleshooting traffic path from configuration • Analyze what-ifs
2. Network Discovery • When to use: • Network assessment • Before and after • network migration • The generation-2 discovery engine has human-style intelligence, and excels in • Depth: Discover not only L2/L3 topology, but also network design • Speed: Reach the speed of 800 • routers/switches per hour • Visual Output • Use Visio map or Q-map for output Inventory Report Annotated Design L2/L3 site map in Visio Device Infomation
3. Application Path Wizard • Enter two end points of an application, traffic path is mapped out across • Live network, or • Baselined network, or • Simulated network • When to use: • Troubleshooting application problem • Impact analysis of network outage or change
4. Diagnostic Monitoring • Troubleshoot slow application with one-click. Real-time data is collected and overlayed on top of map. Data analyzed includes • Device or link up/down status • CPU/Memory utilization • Link utilization, delay and error • When To Use: • Troubleshooting slow application • Performance benchmarking Top-talker Alarm Chart
5.Design Reader • Design reader extrapolates detail design out of configuration files via customizable templates. Save time in troubleshooting and learn from best practices in design. • When to use: • Network Assessment • Troubleshooting Hundreds of Build-in Design Filters
6. Data-driven Map • NetBrain’s Q-map is driven by data discovered from network. You never need to manually annotate a map. When you share Qmaps, all data is reserved. • When to use: • Network documentation and collaboration
7. One-click Network Benchmark • No more worry that you don't know what the network was like yesterday, last week. One-click in workstation, or have NetBrain Appliance recurringly benchmark the entire network. • When to use: • For comparative troubleshooting • Network assessment Use Appliance for Scalability
8. IPSLA Analyzer • Metering your live network for VoIP readiness, or troubleshoot slow application, via Cisco router's IPSLA feature. • When to use: • VoIP assessment • Advanced performance troubleshooting
9. Compare Routing Table After configure change or network outage, you need this feature to figure out which network is impacted, which is not. * Troubleshoot network change * Impact analysis of network outage Powered by Appliance
10.Configuration Management With built-in configuration management feature, it is always one-click away to find out which device's configure is changed and what has been changed When to use: Troubleshooting and Change Verification Powered by Appliance
Top10 Features By Popularity Drag-and-drop mapping from configuration Mapping via Traceroute One-click Visio One-IP table for L2 connectivity Automated telnet/SSH Top-talker drill-down Search Highlight Routing or VLAN Dynamic Zoom Instant Monitoring Network Discovery Design Reader 5 3 4 Diagnostic Monitoring Application Path Wizard 10 9 5 2 3 4 1 6 7 8
Drag-and-drop mapping from configuration • Drag-and-drop a configuration file or a folder with configuration files into NetBrain, workspace is built and maps are created. It enable engineers to take advantage of NetBrain in seconds When to use: • Network assessment • Describe network design
2. Mapping via Traceroute • Copy and paste trace route results into NetBrain, and map the traffic path with one-click. Use NetBrain’s built-in traceroute to analyze paths from multiple sources. • When to use: • Troubleshooting connectivity
3. One-click Visio • From NetBrain’s data-driven Qmap to fully-annotated Visio map, it takes one-click. The annotation of design is driven by model as well. • When to use: • Document network Data-driven Qmap Visio map L3 Qmap L2 Qmap Visio map
4.One IP table for L2 connectivity • One-IP table, populated by auto-discovery, describes the physical connectivity between end hosts, switch, router and firewall in both table and map format. When to use: • Inventory for data center migration • L2 troubleshooting Drag-and-drop
5. Automated Telnet/SSH • Enterprise network might have 10 sets of username/password for 1000 network devices. Addding things like jump-box and other security restriction, it can be tedious just to get to the command line of devices. • Let NetBrain figure this out for you, and one-click you are in the command line interface. When to use: • Troubleshooting Device setting describes how to reach a device, and is automatically populated
1 2 6. Top-talker Drill-down • After you see a high link-utilization, figuring out who are hogging the bandwidth is simple: Leverage Cisco router’s IP accounting and NetBrain’s visual display When to use: • Troubleshooting overloaded link
7. Search • Search for an IP address, or a MAC address, or which device has certain configure-let. The result is ready to be drag-and-dropped to a map. When to use: • Troubleshooting Drag and drop
8. Highlight Routing or VLAN • Color code the L3 map to show routing design (BGP/IGP) and color code the L2 map to show the VLAN design, see below • When to use: • Network assessment • Troubleshooting L2 L3
9. Dynamic Zoom in Map • NetBrain’s Qmap encapsulates many network design data. To add or remove details in the map, simply zoom in or out. Intelligent layout ensures the map is always read-able. When to use: • Understand network design • Document Zoom in
10. Instant Monitoring • From a map to a real-time performance diagnostic report, all it takes is one-click to launch the instant monitoring • When to use • Performance troubleshooting L3 L2
