Infoblox NetMRI®

NetMRI provides automatic network discovery, switch port management, network change automation and continuous configuration compliance management for multi-vendor routers, switches and other layer 2 and 3 network devices. NetMRI helps customers move from out-of-date spreadsheets, error-prone manual processes like scripts and CLI access and ad hoc audit teams.

Discover

NetMRI offers complete network discovery and dynamic inventory for multi-vendor devices for both physical aspects as well as logical components such as VLANs, routes, HSRP/VRRP peers, and subnets. NetMRI also detects end-hosts connected to switches with detail views of current and historical status – with automated sync to the Infoblox IPAM solution.

 

Control

NetMRI helps users control and maintain consistent networks for both internal best practices/gold standards and external compliance mandates including PCI, NSA, SANS, DISA and others. By automatically comparing each change against policies, NetMRI proactively identifies violations and streamlines the audit process with less time and manual effort.

 

Automate

NetMRI automatically detects network changes and logs each new configuration as well as employs embedded expertise and customizable templates to execute changes. Instead of handling just basic tasks, NetMRI focuses on customizable, dynamic concepts – enabling powerful automation and empowering more staff through automated network control.

 

 

Discover and Track

Switch Port Manager offers complete network discovery and dynamic inventory for multi-vendor devices for both physical aspects as well as logical components such as VLANs, routers, HSRP/VRRP peers, and subnets. Also track end hosts connected to switches with detail views of current and historical status for improved troubleshooting or to find rogue devices.

 

Eliminate Waste

Switch Port Manager displays which ports are free, used and available, so you can easily see which switches are running out of capacity. The solution eliminates the guesswork so you can safely reclaim unused ports which eliminates waste and adds capacity.

 

Integration for Comprehensive IPAM

When integrated with the Trinzic DDI solution, Switch Port Manager lets you manage switch ports, network components and IP addresses within a single platform. The single interface shows the end device, where it has been, and how it connects through the network.
