Network Topology and Route Visualization
NetOpsVA's Route Map Viewer, a tool designed to provide a visual representation of network topology and routing within an organization. It functions by collecting routing table entries and neighbor information (OSPF, EIGRP, BGP) from Cisco devices via SSH, using Netmiko. This data is then used to create a node-link topology, where devices and networks are nodes, and routing relationships form the links, with attributes like protocol and next-hop detailed. The visualization, powered by D3.js, offers benefits such as improved network visibility, faster troubleshooting, proactive monitoring, and aid in documentation and compliance by dynamically mapping routing and neighbor relationships.
