Network Assessment with vRNI

[avgvizoso]

Hi guys,

How are you?

I would like to know if with vRNI I can make a physical Network Assessment in order to know the traffic between physical machines and discover all network elements. The intention is to make this assessment and to see the benefits for the customer with NSX, etc..

Thanks!

Yes you can. External sources can send their flows to vRNI.

This link shows how to configure for different types of devices, including Fortinet, Extreme and Ubiquity, so in general Ipfix Netflow supported devices may be understood by VRNI
