18. 4.One IP table for L2 connectivity
One-IP table, populated by auto-discovery, describes the physical connectivity between end hosts, switch, router and firewall in both table and map format.
When to use:
Inventory for data center migration
L2 troubleshooting
Drag-and-drop

19. 5. Automated Telnet/SSH
Enterprise network might have 10 sets of username/password for 1000 network devices. Addding things like jump-box and other security restriction, it can be tedious just to get to the command line of devices.
Let NetBrain figure this out for you, and one-click you are in the command line interface.
When to use:
Troubleshooting
Device setting describes how to reach a device, and is automatically populated
