1. SimulationSimulation 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
Device Infomation
2. Network DiscoveryThe 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 OutputUse Visio map or Q-map for output
Inventory Report L2/L3 site map in Visio
When to use:•Network assessment•Before and after network migration
3. Application Path WizardEnter 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
Top-talker
Alarm
Chart
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
5.Design ReaderDesign 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
6. Data-driven MapNetBrain’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 BenchmarkNo 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:1.For comparative troubleshooting2.Network assessment
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
8. IPSLA Analyzer
9. Compare Routing TableAfter 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
10.Configuration ManagementWith 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

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 assessmentDescribe network design
1. Drag-and-drop mapping from configuration
2. Mapping via TracerouteCopy 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 VisioFrom 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

4.One IP table for L2 connectivityOne-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 migrationL2 troubleshooting
Drag-and-drop
5. Automated Telnet/SSHEnterprise 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
6. Top-talker Drill-downAfter 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
