Reports

The Reports section presents an organized overview of all available Reports. Reports are tabular views of provisioned objects and detected elements within the network.

Selecting a Report opens a text-based list that can be sorted, highlighted, exported to CSV, and navigated from. In the example below, the Report titled Spine Devices is opened.

Reports can be filtered and customized to create individual operator-specific reporting on any element in Verity.

External BGP Connection	An external BGP (eBGP) connection is a Border Gateway Protocol link established between network routers. It allows separate organizations or network domains to exchange routing information and connect to each other while maintaining their independent routing policies and configurations. The External BGP Connection Report provides a list of the configured BGP neighbors as well as their current state.
DHCP Lease	A DHCP Lease is a temporary assignment of an IP address and related network configuration parameters to a device by a DHCP server. The DHCP Report is a tabular list of all DHCP leases provided by Verity on the management network.
DHCP Assigned IPs	DHCP Assigned IPs are IP addresses that have been dynamically allocated to devices on a network by the DHCP server. The DHCP Assigned IPs Report lists all of the IP addresses assigned by the Verity server.

Layer-2

Report Name	Content
Isolated LANs	An isolated LAN is a local area network that is intentionally disconnected from any other network, including the internet and any other internal networks. This means that devices on the isolated LAN can only communicate with each other, and cannot communicate with devices outside of that LAN.
Underlay Route Tables	An underlay route table is used by physical network devices to determine the best path for forwarding traffic within the underlying physical network infrastructure. Routing protocols like OSPF, IS-IS, and BGP populate these tables to ensure all devices in the underlay can reach each other, providing essential connectivity for overlay networks.
Active Captures	Refers to the process of intercepting and recording network traffic as it occurs. The Active Captures Report is a tabular list of actions, values, and settings for Capture processes that are still ongoing.
LLDP on Edge Ports	LLDP is a protocol that allows network devices to advertise information like their identity and capabilities to neighboring devices on a local network. On edge ports, LLDP can be used to auto-configure VoIP phones, inventory devices, and troubleshoot connectivity, but it may be disabled for security reasons to prevent unauthorized disclosure of network topology.
MACs	The MAC Address Workbench (MACs) lets you search device by mac address. Clicking the Search button without specifying a mac address displays all devices (). From within a list of devices, clicking () opens a new tab to search on the corresponding mac address ()
MAC Export	MAC Export provides a summary MAC report for all devices connected to the network's user facing ethernet ports. Administrators can automate this tool to generate a daily report or use it on a case-by-case basis as needed. To manually run a report, enable the checkbox for all services you want to include, click Run Report Now, and wait for the Download Latest Report icon to turn blue. Once it does, click the icon to download the CSV file.
LAGs	A LAG (Link Aggregation Group) is a collection of Ethernet ports that are grouped together and behave as a single logical interface, providing increased bandwidth, redundancy, and resilience. The LAGs Report is a tabular list of actions, values, and settings for all LAGs.
Services	A Service is a Layer-2 broadcast domain (VLAN) that can optionally be routed through the Layer-3 fabric as VXLAN frames, allowing devices connected to different parts of the network to appear as if they are on the same local segment. The Services Report is a tabular list of actions, values, and settings for all Services.
