NetBrain currently models Layer 2 topology links as point-to-point connections between two interfaces. When a single interface, such as a LAN interface on an SD-WAN device, is physically or logically connected to multiple neighboring devices through shared media, the platform cannot accurately represent this as a single multipoint connection, resulting in incomplete or misleading L2 topology diagrams. This enhancement would introduce support for point-to-multipoint L2 link rendering, allowing a shared interface to connect to a bus or shared-media object that in turn links to multiple downstream devices. Customers operating environments where a single interface serves multiple connected devices would gain accurate, automated L2 topology visibility that reflects actual network design, reducing the need for manual link correction.
