NetPath & NetMap Configuration

Created by niharika Velidhi, Modified on Thu, 26 Feb at 1:47 PM by niharika Velidhi

Network Insights provides two major capabilities:

  • NetMap - Network discovery and topology mapping

  • NetPath - Path and connectivity analysis

Both require installation components inside the customer network environment.

Access path: Settings → Configurations → Network Insights

Note: We require two internal network ports - one for probe connectivity and one for Network Insights.


NetPath Installation Steps

NetPath is installed on a Probe system inside the customer network. 

  1. Navigate to: Settings → Configurations → Network Insights

  2. Select NetPath
  3. Download the NetPath installer
  4. Install it on the designated Probe machine

Once installed, the system appears under NetPath Configuration and becomes available for path monitoring tasks.

 

NetPath End Agent Installation:

To perform path analysis from specific devices, the device must:

  1. Be added under Assets

  2. Have the Ceburu End Agent installed

NetPath cannot run from devices that do not have the Ceburu End Agent installed.

 

Step 1: Add Device to Assets

Navigate to: Settings → Assets

The device must be successfully registered before installing the End Agent.


Step 2: Install Ceburu End Agent

The End Agent can be installed using either of the following methods:

Option 1 - Install from Portal

  • Go to the device under Assets

  • Download the Ceburu End Agent installer

  • Run the installer on the target device

  • The agent registers automatically with the portal


Option 2 - Install via NSIS Package

  • Use the NSIS generated installer

  • Deploy manually or through centralized deployment tools

  • Once installed, the agent registers with the platform



After installing the end agent the device will Appears in NetPath Monitoring devices


NetMap Installation Steps:

  1. Navigate to: Settings → Configurations → Network Insights

  2. Select NetMap

  3. Download the NetMap executable

  4. Install the executable on the Probe system

  5. Once installed, scanning can be initiated from Network Insights

Note: NetMap must be installed on a Probe system inside the customer network.


NetMap Configuration with SNMP/ Vendor API 

Option 1 - SNMP Configuration

Used for direct device communication.

Path:
Settings → Configurations → SNMP

Steps:

  1. Click Add Profile

  2. Provide:

    • Profile Name

    • SNMP Version (v1/v2)

    • Port (default 161)

    • Community String

  3. Select applicable subnets

  4. Click Create Profile

Requirements:

  • Devices must allow SNMP access

  • Devices must be reachable from the Probe

  • SNMP must be enabled on devices

SNMP scans collect:

  • Device inventory

  • Interface data

  • Topology information

  • Low-level network details



Option 2 - Vendor API Configuration (Meraki / Mist)

Used when infrastructure is managed through vendor cloud platforms.

Path:
Settings → Configurations → SNMP → Vendor API Configuration

Steps:

  1. Click Vendor API Configuration

  2. Click Create Vendor API

  3. Select vendor:

    • Meraki

    • Mist

  4. Enter:

    • Name

    • API Key

  5. Click Create Vendor API

Vendor API scans:

  • Pull data directly from vendor cloud

  • Do not require direct SNMP access

  • Retrieve topology and device details from vendor-managed networks

Both SNMP and Vendor API methods solve the same purpose but use different data sources.
