Hands-On Lab Workshop: NetBrain Essentials for Network Operations

Event Overview

Join us for a hands-on Learning Path and Lab experience designed to help network operations professionals unlock the full power of NetBrain. In this session, we will provide an overview of the Learning Path and explore NetBrain’s operational workflow through a hands-on lab. Starting with network discovery and dynamic device mapping, you will then layer discovered data with Intent features such as parsers and diagnostics to enable low-code automation, standards validation, and scheduled rule checks through dashboards. NetBrain is a web-based, SSH-, SNMP-, and API-driven network operations platform that helps teams visualize, automate, document, troubleshoot, and remediate their networks using live data and interactive maps. By the end of this session, you will understand how to use NetBrain not only to view your network, but also to continuously validate it and accelerate troubleshooting through repeatable, map-driven automated workflows.

What to expect

The event will cover the following topics:
  • Discover Device Data and Network Visibility: Learn how NetBrain automatically discovers and maps multi-vendor networks using live data and interactive topologies.
  • Intent-Based Automation: Learn how to define Quick Intent and configure Diagnosis for automated rule checks that continuously validate network health and policy compliance.
  • Scheduled Diagnostics: Build dashboards that surface violations, operational insights, and network health trends on a recurring schedule.
  • Accelerated Troubleshooting: Use map-driven, repeatable workflows to reduce mean time to resolution during incidents.
  • Interactive Q&A: Engage with WWT experts and fellow participants during live discussion segments.

Goals and Objectives

● Experience with NetBrain’s core operational workflows, including network discovery, live mapping, and intent-based validation. ● Learn how to build Intent and Standard Checks to schedule automated rule enforcement and continuously verify that your network meets defined policies. ● Develop skills in accelerating troubleshooting through map-driven diagnostics and automated remediation.

Who should attend?

This lab is ideal for NOC engineers, network administrators, IT operations professionals, and infrastructure automation engineers. It is also a great fit for anyone looking to modernize network troubleshooting and validation workflows. No prior NetBrain experience is required. The session is suitable for all skill levels and especially valuable for those seeking to improve operational efficiency and reduce downtime through automation.
