With the new smart grouping feature, OpManager can automatically detect and group devices with matching custom fields. Post discovery, OpManager detects devices with identical custom fields and prompts you whether they should be added as groups, when you enable this, these devices are automatically upgraded as groups. Furthermore, you can now specify custom fields and group names while importing devices from CSV files, this reduces the time required to discover, classify, and organize large networks.

The first installment of our new blog series, Beyond Their Intended Scope, covers BGP mishaps that may have escaped the community’s attention but are worthy of analysis. In this post, we review a recent BGP leak that redirected internet traffic through Russia and Central Asia as a result of a path error leak by Uztelecom, the incumbent service provider of Uzbekistan.

Managing IP addresses is essential in the operation and security of modern computer networks. However, the original IP addressing system based on address classes A, B, and C was extremely inefficient in allocating addresses. Many addresses were wasted, rapidly depleting the available IPv4 space. To address this pressing issue, Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) was introduced in 1993. So, if you’re wondering what is CIDR, read on to learn everything you need to know.

Learn how to transform your network efficiency and interoperability, all from a single interface. As networks expand and automation becomes the norm, API usage has exploded; in today’s digital landscape, 90% of developers are now utilizing APIs. APIs are no longer just technical constructs, confined to the dark corners of software engineers – they’re now the lifeblood of many companies. API tools allow you to connect to diverse data sources, supporting interoperability and innovation.

In today’s digital environments, slow is the new down. As users continue to grow increasingly accustomed to rapid response—and less willing to wait—slow application performance continues to be highly problematic for organizations. While downtime of major services can make headlines, it is more often slow performance that hurts businesses, ultimately stifling productivity and profits.

The landscape of enterprise networking has undergone tremendous change in recent years. Widespread adoption of software-defined networking (SDN), the proliferation of multi-cloud environments, the rise of edge computing, and the implementation of zero-trust security models have collectively reshaped network architectures. While these trends bring unprecedented flexibility and scalability, they have also exponentially increased complexity.

For today’s enterprises, there’s no good time for network downtime. In this post, we detail how DX NetOps by Broadcom provides advanced capabilities that help teams minimize outage incidents and duration. We then offer an example of how these capabilities benefited a leading telecommunications provider in the UK, fueling an 80% reduction in alarm noise and a 40% decrease in mean time to resolution.

In a relatively short period of time, networks have grown much bigger, much more complex, and much more critical to the ongoing operation of the business. Quite simply, while ensuring optimized network services has never been more critical, it’s also never been more difficult. In many large enterprises, network operations teams are seeing tens of thousands of endpoints added to already complex internal environments.
