NetBeez is a network performance monitoring solution that assesses LAN, WAN, and Wi-Fi networks from the user's viewpoint. It offers proactive detection of network issues, simplifies troubleshooting, and enables performance monitoring through various tests, including ping and throughput. Integration with Cisco DNA Center requires specific prerequisites and involves downloading an app and setting up monitoring targets on the NetBeez dashboard.
NetBeez - Integration with Cisco DNA Center
- 1. NetBeez and Cisco DNAC Integration
- 2. NetBeez NetBeez is a distributed network performance monitoring solution that tests LAN, WAN, and WiFi networks from the user perspective, measuring and reporting KPI of network and service quality.

NetBeez Monitoring Tests Test Primary Metric Test Interval * Detection Time * PING Round-Trip-Time, Packet Loss 5 seconds 25 seconds DNS DNS Lookup Time 30 seconds 2.5 minutes HTTP HTTP Get Time 60 seconds 5 minutes Traceroute Hop Count, RTT, MTU 120 seconds User-defined iPerf TCP/UDP/Multicast Throughput Scheduled n/a VoIP Jitter, Packet Loss, MOS Scheduled n/a Speed Test Download/Upload Throughput Scheduled n/a * Default settings
- 4. NetBeez Use Cases Use Case What Is It? NetBeez Solution Proactive Detection Detect network problems as soon as they occur, before the users report them to the help desk. Active monitoring tests performed by monitoring agents installed at remote locations where the users sit. Network Troubleshooting Simplify troubleshooting of network problems that can cause interruption of network services or applications. Pinpoint network versus application issues by correlating alerts under agents or targets. Performance Monitoring Build a performance baseline of a network infrastructure to identify areas where there are problems. Run network telemetry tests like ping, iperf, and speed test from across a network infrastructure. End-User Experience Verify the overall experience of the end-users against WiFi and cloud or web applications. Simulate user interaction to web applications via WiFi and Ethernet sensors deployed at remote sites.

Internet NetBeez Architecture NetBeez Server User Dashboard Target NetBeez Cat9K Hosted App Test Secure Control Channel (TCP:20018) Web Socket (TCP:443) Provisioning * * An Internet connection is required during the provisioning of the NetBeez hosted app to get configuration settings (e.g. NetBeez server address and encryption keys for the secure control channel)
- 6. Cisco DNAC Prerequisites ● A Cisco DNAC platform ● A Cisco Catalyst 9000 with a front panel USB stick of 128GB or bigger ● A DHCP server or a static IP address for the virtual machines ● A NetBeez server, if you don’t have one: ○ Request a 30-day trial license for a dedicated NetBeez dashboard hosted in the cloud at https://resources.netbeez.net/netbeez-cisco-evaluation ○ Within 24 hours from your request, you will receive a confirmation email with the instructions needed to access your cloud dashboard and activate NetBeez on Cisco DNA
- 7. DNAC Procedure 1. Download the NetBeez Cisco app here: https://storage.googleapis.com/netbeez-public/netbeez-cisco.tar 2. Import the NetBeez Cisco app downloaded at step 1 into your Cisco DNA. Follow the documented flow to install the Netbeez app. You will need the secret key associated to your NetBeez dashboard a. The secret key is used by the NetBeez Cisco App to download and apply configuration settings from the cloud. If you have an internal HTTPS proxy, please include this information in this step 3. On the NetBeez dashboard create monitoring targets and schedule network performance tests
