nuVML™ Virtual Modeling Lab for Cisco VIRL CML 3D Network Visualization

WHAT IS nuVML™?

nuVML™ is a network visualization tool

It allows for abstract virtual logical visualization of the relationships between physical and virtual network devices. It visualizes routing protocols, traffic flow, network topology changes in real-time.

nuVML™ can run as a stand-alone application or in conjunction with Cisco VIRL and CML. It supports multi-vendor environment, works seamlessly with all node types that are simulated in Cisco VIRL and CML.

WHO SHOULD USE nuVML™?

Speaknetworks nuVML

For individual and educational purposes

Combined with Cisco VIRL, individuals who are studying for CCNA, CCNP and CCIE certifications, training and learning about network technologies, it helps instructors to teach, and students to learn and build labs in virtual environment. With 2D and 3D views of packet flow inside your network in real-time, it makes the learning easy and fun.

For businesses and network engineers

nuVML™ can be used for network design, capacity planning, proof of concept, change validation, “what-if” scenario testing and more. It empowers new generation of network design, modeling and simulation solutions with discovery & visualization for production, simulated, hybrid networks, substantially mitigating risks.

Build Topology

You can manually build the topology by selecting devices and connections either by adding information manually or thru discovery.

Start instance

Once you have built the topology, start instance to run the simulation or to run monitoring of actual production environment.

Show routing protocols

You can select from the filter menu what protocols to visualize or hide from view in the visor window.

speaknetworksolutions

Show filter usage

The same way as the protocol filter, you can filter usage by seleting from the menu ARP, OSPF or TCP.

speaknetworksolutions

Run Discovery mode

You can run discovery mode if you have an actual network that you want to monitor or test to see it’s behavior and response.

Navigate inside discovery

Navigate thru the discovered devices, by selecting the desired option from our full range of options provided.

2D/3D views

2D or 3D visualizations are available with nuVML™, 2d can only see virtual network topology while 3d has full visibility.

Real-time traffic monitoring

Real-time monitoring of traffic can be done with our tool, no other tool allows for this amazing feature.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

nuVML™ can be used as a stand-alone application for production network discovery and visualization. For greenfield network design, new feature testing, “what-if” scenario validation, capacity planing, people find it is more flexible working with virtual networks without disrupting production. In that case you need Cisco VIRL or CML server. nuVML™ integrates seamlessly with both Cisco simulation engines.

Absolutely two separate products with no relationship, nuVML is a “visualization” product and Cisco VIRL is a “virtualization” product.

No, Cisco VIRL or CML is required for simulation purposes. However, nuVML™ has powerful visualization & discovery engines. It can run as a standalone application for production networks.

Only Microsoft platform is support at this point.

No, VIRL has to be acquired directly from Cisco at virl.cisco.com

Yes, for this you need to create a connector between production and the simulation. Read more about Cisco VIRL External Connectivity.

nuVML™ and GNS3 are two separate products and have no comparison when it comes to usage. GNS3 is a freeware simulation and design tool while nuVML is a visualization tool can be connected to GNS3 or production network at the same time. In addition,  nuVML™ is fully integrated into Cisco VIRL and CML while GNS3 is not.

To simulate more than 20 nodes, Enterprise version of nuVML™ is required. Please send your inquiry at www.nupsys.com.

Yes, traffic is visualized and differentiated in different colors based on protocols, updated in real-time as packets flowing through network routers.

Layer 1 through layer 7 using a sniffer module or NBAR functionality.

Yes, importing configuration allows visualization and simulation run in offline mode.
