Overlays and Virtualization and Services, oh my!

NetBox Cloud is also an ideal location to record regions of the network that can be typically overlooked and under-documented.

  • Overlays

    Create a record for your L2VPNs, their type, and their termination point.

The Power of NetBox Data Correlation

With NetBox Cloud as the source of truth for your network, your previously disjointed data gets linked in ways that were near impossible in the past. Answers to complex questions become as simple as point and click.

Examples Include:

  • What VLANs and subnets are assigned to this site and what are they used for?
  • How are my supernets divided up and where do I have free space?
  • At what site, room, rack, and poistion is this router mounted?
  • Who do I call about this application running on this VM?
  • What circuits exist at this site, what devices do they connect to, what IPs do they feed, and who do I call when there is an issue?
