The main flow of discovering Cisco ACI networks are as follows:

  1. Set Up APIC Server Access for NetworkBrain — double-check the configurations on your APIC server from which you can read data.
  2. Set Up API Server in NetworkBrain — define the required parameters to access 3rd-party systems via APIs.
  3. Discover ACI Data in NetworkBrain — discover the network data model in a NetworkBrain domain.
  4. Auto-Update ACI Data in NetworkBrain through Benchmark — execute a benchmark task to retrieve all data and build all components, including visual spaces and data views.
