Infoblox Network Insight
This section provides information about Infoblox Network Insight, which unites network discovery for geographically dispersed networks, infrastructure devices, and network assets with the Infoblox IPAM (IP Address Management) solution. Through discovery, Network Insight provides automated, comprehensive, and accurate data about your network devices and their attributes so you can have better visibility in your network infrastructure, including the virtual network infrastructure, and manage it more efficiently. This section also describes how you can use Network Insight to detect and manage information about network infrastructure devices, how to provision and de-provision networks, and how to manage and provision device ports, including switched Ethernet.
