The wait is finally over! We are thrilled to announce that DX NetOps 24.3.9 marks the official general availability (GA) of DX NetOps Topology, a key milestone in our network observability journey. After a successful early access program with many customer deployments, we are excited to bring this highly anticipated solution to the broader community. DX NetOps Topology is designed to provide you with the insights and operational efficiency needed to manage both traditional and software-defined networks. This is just the beginning; the solution is backed by a strong roadmap that features continued evolution and expansion of its capabilities. Get ready to take full control of your network with unified visibility and streamlined workflows, now and in the future.
Why DX NetOps Topology?
Managing modern networks can be a complex and daunting task, especially with the increasing adoption of hybrid, SD-WAN, SD-LAN, and multi-cloud environments. DX NetOps Topology empowers your network operations teams by providing comprehensive visibility across your entire network, from legacy systems to software-defined infrastructures. Here’s why DX NetOps Topology should be your go-to solution for network management:
- End-to-end visibility: Gain a single-pane-of-glass view across both traditional and modern network architectures.
- Simplified troubleshooting: Multi-hop neighbor triage workflows help you resolve network issues faster, reducing mean time to resolution (MTTR).
- Operational efficiency: Capabilities such as filters, customized views, and clustering make it easier to manage large-scale networks and quickly access the information you need.
- Ready for the future: With an ambitious roadmap, DX NetOps Topology is built to grow with your network, incorporating the latest technologies and integrations as they emerge.
Let’s explore the new network topology capabilities that are now available in the latest version of DX NetOps.
Extended SD-WAN topology support
DX NetOps Topology supports comprehensive visibility for major SD-WAN technologies, including SilverPeak, Viptela, and Fortinet. This expanded support empowers network operations teams to optimize SD-WAN paths, monitor network performance, and troubleshoot issues like congestion or link failures. With real-time path visualization, you can proactively manage your SD-WAN environment, ensuring optimal performance and uptime.
SDDC and data center visibility with Cisco ACI
Visualizing your traditional and software-defined data center (SDDC) has never been easier. With the addition of Cisco ACI integration, DX NetOps Topology delivers comprehensive insight into multi-pod data center fabrics. This allows you to visualize and monitor performance across your entire ACI fabric, ensuring that your SDDC environment is both scalable and manageable, with instant access to critical performance metrics and fault management.
SD-LAN topology for campus networks
For campus networks, DX NetOps Topology integrates robust support for Cisco Catalyst Center devices, offering SD-LAN topology visualization. This provides a complete view of your campus network, including switches, routers, and wireless controllers. It also offers access point correlation, enabling network operators to pinpoint issues quickly and gain contextual insights into network segments, devices, and performance.
Layer 2 topology support with CDP and LLDP
DX NetOps Topology delivers Layer 2 network visibility, leveraging CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) and LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) to visualize connected devices at the data link layer. This is invaluable for troubleshooting network connectivity issues, identifying misconfigurations, and improving network reliability by gaining detailed insights into network topology and device connectivity. Plus, this is just the beginning; we are invested in further enriching Layer 2 with more protocol support and extending L3 support in upcoming releases.
Clustering for large-scale network management
One of the most exciting innovations in DX NetOps Topology is advanced clustering. The clustering feature intelligently organizes large-scale networks into logical groups based on connections, device types, and IP address ranges. This reduces complexity, improves operational efficiency, and makes it easier to manage extensive networks, especially in large enterprise environments.
Enhanced triage workflow
DX NetOps Topology introduces an advanced multi-hop triage workflow that helps network operations teams quickly assess the impact of network issues. By visualizing network problems in the context of their connected devices, operators can instantly see the downstream or upstream effects, accelerating root cause analysis and improving MTTR.
Filtered views
The new Save Filtered View feature makes it easier than ever to reuse custom filter settings. No more reapplying filters each time you access the system—simply save your configurations and quickly jump to the views that matter most. This feature boosts productivity, saves time, reduces redundant tasks, and ensures that network operators can focus on what’s important.
Installation and deployment with Ansible playbooks
We’ve streamlined the installation and deployment process with Ansible-based playbooks, allowing you to automate and simplify the setup of DX NetOps Topology across your environment. With just a few steps, you can reduce the manual intervention and time required to deploy the solution in your network, so you can get up and running quickly.
Get Started Today
In an era in which network agility and resilience are fundamental to sustaining a competitive advantage, aligning network operations with business demands has never been more critical.
The DX NetOps 24.3.9 release, along with the general availability of DX NetOps Topology, is now available. This latest evolution of DX NetOps is designed to support your organization as it navigates the accelerating pace of network transformation. The solution is focused on enabling your teams to build and manage an infrastructure that not only meets today’s demands but that is architected to help you embrace future innovations. By integrating these advancements, your company can take a significant step towards ensuring its network strategy actively contributes to long-term growth and adaptability in an increasingly interconnected world.
