Dynamic Mapping with Automation

Dynamic diagrams are created on-demand, instantly. Because they are data-driven from the live network, they are always up-to-date. Through this approach, there’s no need to create and maintain a database of drawings.

  2. History of Network Automation ? G2: The Rest? G1: NCCM for Configuration G0: Scripting

  3. Before Network Automation Multiple CLI Windows Static Map Legacy Automation

  4. The Evolution of Network Mapping Single pane of glass Time consuming Closed to Experts “One size fits all” Manual Stitching Quicker to build Closedto Admins “On the rack sizing” Manual Stitching Extremely Fast Open to All “Custom-fit sizing” Auto-Stitching “Search and extend” techniques with advanced Layer 4 traffic path analysis

  5. Dynamic Mapping at Work Whiteboard Drawings w/ Verbal Data NetBrain’s Qmap w/ Embedded Data Automatic Legend Map-data Protocol association Route Propagation Map of discussion area created in under 30 seconds

  6. Introduce Dynamic Map (Qmap) • NetBrain Qmaps can be created on demand instantly • Create a map around an IP address • Map an application path • Qmaps are data rich and interactive • Zoom in to see more network data and observe device details (Observer) • Encapsulate built-in data, show command results, and monitored data inside a Qmap • Qmaps can be automatically updated • Highlight any topology changes on the map • Schedule an auto update of maps

  7. Dynamic Map – Zooming Zoom = 80% Zoom = 160% • Scroll with a wheel mouse or setting the zoom % manually • At customizable zoom %, data layers dynamically add or removed from the map • Select Options on the Map ribbon to adjust defaults

  8. Dynamic Map – Zoom to Relevant Maps Relevant Router in new Qmap • Zoom out to reduce the amount of labels on the map • Zoom out to 40% on any Qmap to launch the relevant search • Double-click on the desired map to open in a new tab

  9. Dynamic Map – Zoom to Observer Cards • Zoom in to 300% to launch Observer Panel • Continue zooming in to scroll through each card • Each card provides easy access to information related to a device • Uses and to change to a different device on the map

  10. Dive into a Device via Observer • Navigator card allows re-ordering and hiding of each card • Click “Refresh” on Design card to clean un-used categories

  11. Use Case: Compare neighboring protocol configurations Compare neighboring interface settings How to launch Select a device of interest on the map Select Config>Design Reader from floating Qmap menu Design Reader • Description • Provides access to logical configuration blocks • Use NetBrain algorithms to group parsed protocol and related information

  12. Using the Design Reader • Navigate the design reader tree on left for desired configuration block • Change the “Source of Configuration” data for historical comparison • Select the hostname hyperlink to change device for comparison

  13. Using the Design Reader (cont) Show sample configuration • Click on the top row of the design reader tree to validate configuration blocks • no matching configuration, matching configuration available • Launches sample configuration viewer

  14. More Ways to Map On-Demand • Find and disable an infected server • Troubleshoot OSPF routing issues Search for the server and map adjacent LAN environment to see where it connects Map targeted routing domain (e.g. OSPF 200) • Troubleshoot a Data Center • Troubleshoot multicast video issues Open Layer-2 Map of Data Center Map related Downstream Source Tree

  15. Case Studies British Telecom Saves Over $1 Million with Dynamic Mapping With NetBrain, BT significantly reduced costs and manpower associated with discovery and diagramming of its customer’s 20,000 node network. BT scheduled automated bi-monthly rediscovery and asset reports to outline ongoing changes. Fidelity Investments Cuts MTTR in Half with Dynamic Mapping Fidelity utilized NetBrain to automate diagram creation, visualize performance issues, and easily share information for collaborative troubleshooting sessions. Dynamic Mapping shortened typical diagnosis and repair by as much as 50%. Thompson Reuters Consolidates Three Data Centers with Zero Outages Thompson Reuters was able to reduce costs associated with data collection, data center consolidation, and resultant downtime. Additionally, they were able to increase the accuracy of their change management process with NetBrain. “NetBrainis a game-changer for documenting large networks.” Brad Argetsinger Sr. Program Manager “Troubleshooting without NetBrain is like troubleshooting in the dark.” Michael Micheletti NOC Engineer
