Documentation On Demand
- Map a critical application flow
Input a source and destination address to get a targeted layer-3 or layer-2 map of every hop in the path.
- Immediately see where any server is connected
Perform a search for the server and create a layer-2 map directly from the search results.
- Automatically maintain a Visio repository
NetBrain can export any diagram to MS Visio with one-click and keep it up-to-date automatically.

Deep Application Flow Analysis
Using an application's source and destination address, you can map the layer-2 or layer-3 application flow across the network.
You can analyze the application traffic at the port level by choosing the layer-4 protocol and port number. NetBrain will map the path based on layer-4 rules.
Deep application flow analysis supports a range of technologies including routing, switching, NAT, ACL, MPLS, PBR, Load Balancing, and QoS.

Analyze your network with Dynamic Maps
NetBrain's deep network discovery will build a rich mathematical model of the network’s topology and underlying design. The data collected by the system is automatically embedded within every map and exportable to MS Visio, Word, or Excel.
Diagnose your network automatically, with Apps
When there's an outage, every minute counts. NetBrain can dramatically accelerate troubleshooting by helping you map out the problem area and then automate virtually any diagnosis by running Qapps, NetBrain's adaptive automation technology.
-
- Build a Map
On-demand mapping is ideal for troubleshooting. Create a targeted layer-3 or layer-2 map of the problem area - use it as your 'single pane of glass'.
- Run Apps
Rather than logging into network devices one at a time to pull and analyze data, you can run a Qapp to perform that analysis automatically. Choose from dozens built-in, or easily write your own.

Troubleshoot Spanning-Tree Problems
- Map the Bridge Network
There are several ways to map a bridge network, for example you can map directly from a keyword search or drill down from a layer-3 map into a layer-2 map.
- Run Apps to Diagnose Spanning-Tree
You can write your own apps to diagnose spanning-tree, or run some of these built-in Qapps:
- Highlight STP
- Detect Speed/Duplex Mismatch
- Monitor Network Health

Troubleshoot EIGRP Routing
- Map the EIGRP Autonomous System
You can instantly map around the EIGRP Autonomous System (AS) which is having the issue to see which routers should be forming neighbor relationships.
- Run Apps to Diagnose EIGRP Peering & Configuration
You can write your own apps to diagnose EIGRP peering and configuration, or run some of these built-in Qapps:
- Highlight Routing Protocol
- Highlight EIGRP Configuration
- Map EIGRP Neighbor Status

Have More Confidence in Your Network Changes
With NetBrain, you can deploy configuration updates across many devices at once, with just a click. After changes are made, you can automatically identify the impact they have on topology, routing, and more.
-
- Deploy Changes with One Click
You can define a single configuration template and choose the devices and interfaces it will apply to. Then click Execute.
- Analyze the Impact Instantly
Leverage NetBrain's benchmark capability to take a snapshot of the network before the changes. Then compare to the 'after' snapshot.
- Document the Process Automatically
With NetBrain's one-click Word documentation, you can capture the changes, affected devices, and even the impacts identified by the system.
