ReportsπŸ”—

Reports are tabular views of provisioned objects and detected elements within the network. Reports can be easily filtered and customized to create individual operator-specific reporting on any element in Verity. Reports also support bulk actions applied to multiple selected objects.

Reports are accessed from the Main Menu Reports icon ().

In addition, throughout all the navigation panes, usually on the top right of each sub panel, the UI displays a report icon () .

Clicking on the report icon takes you to a text-based list that can be sorted, highlighted, exported to CSV, and navigated from. Also, certain bulk commands are supported from the reports. Those functions are launched by selecting rows in the report and clicking the icons at the top.

Applying Actions to Report ItemsπŸ”—

To apply actions to Report items, you select the item(s) you want to affect, click the Actions button, and choose the desired action. All selected Report items are affected by the change.

Report Filtering using RegexπŸ”—

To apply actions to specific entries within Report, you select the item(s) you want to using simple drop down selections or regular expressions (regex).

Regular expressions can be selected by clicking on the filter type selection if shown at the top of the column.

Regex format is aligned with Javascript standards and more information can be found here:

Tenant Route Tables

Tenant Route Table displays the virtualized routing table (VRF) that's specific to a single tenant in a shared infrastructure.

Tenant

A Tenant is the fundamental building block of the data center overlay network. A tenant creates an isolated Layer-3 network to support discrete user groups, organizations, clients, or applications.

Services

A Service is a Layer-2 isolated network VLAN/VXLAN and associated settings.

Gateways

A Gateway is a Layer-3 routing entity that provides entry and exit point between two different networks.

Gateway Profiles

A Gateway Profile is a package of one or more BGP Tenant Gateways that are served by a port, or a collection of settings and configurations that define how a gateway operates, including the IP address assigned to the interface that terminates the BGP session on the switch.

PB Egress Profile: A user-defined configuration that specifies how traffic should be forwarded by the Packet Broker. These profiles contain rules, including filters. The PB Egress Profiles Report is a tabular list of actions, values, and settings for PB Egress Profiles.

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.
