The Summaries tab (Network Explorer –>  > Summaries) lists routes, subnets, VLANs, Route Targets, HSRPs/VRRP groups, ports, NIOS grids, network views, and VRFs (virtual routing and forwarding instances) in the network.

...

  • Also, check the Topology Viewer (Network Explorer –>  > Topology) to see a graphic presentation of the VLAN path.

If you have a significant number of network views, you can apply a filter by clicking the Filters button at the top of the table, choosing the Network View option from the Select a New Field selector, and entering the name of the network view.

Network Views represent each network that is managed and monitored by NetMRI. For more information about network views and how to use and configure them, see Configuring Network Views and its subsections.

Summarizing VRFs

After virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) networks are discovered and mapped to network views, you can use the VRFs summary to view the complete list of VRF instances throughout the managed network. You can sort the VRF information by any data column to see the relationships between VRF instances in virtual networks.

...

  • VRF Name: Displays the name of the VRF instance.
  • VRF Description: Displays a description if the VRF instance is configured with a description on the device.
  • Route Distinguisher: VRFs use route distinguishers to distinguish one set of routes (one VRF) from another. The route distinguisher is a unique number pre-pended to each route within a VRF to identify it as belonging to that particular VRF. The discovered route distinguisher value is listed here if a virtual network instance uses this value. For more information, see Summarizing Route Targets.
  • Device Name: The discovered name of the device hosting the VRF instance.
  • IP Address: The IP address of the managed VRF-hosting device. This value is a hotlink to the Device Viewer.
  • Network View: The network view of the managed VRF-hosting device. This value is a hotlink to the Network Viewer window.
  • VRF Network View: The network view to which the VRF is assigned. This value is a hotlink to the Network Viewer window. Note that this value may differ from the Network View identifier.
