NetBrain currently provides no way to replace a specific device on a customized map with a different device while automatically preserving that device's position, layout, and existing Layer 2/Layer 3 link connections. Customers with large numbers of customized maps must manually delete the old device and re-create its position and links each time a device is decommissioned and replaced. This enhancement would introduce a search-and-replace capability that lets a user locate a device across one or more maps and substitute it with a new device, carrying over the original position and all associated links. Customers undertaking large-scale hardware transitions, such as replacing firewalls or switches across many sites, would significantly reduce manual map rework and accelerate device lifecycle changes.
