Abstract
Networking management tools enable network designers and administrator to design, configure, deploy, expand, and manage network fabrics. However, such tools may be limited—particularly when dealing with a deployed network fabric. In one or more embodiments, given a network drawing generated using a diagramming application and a set of defined stencils of network elements in which one or more network elements in the network drawing include associated network data properties, the network drawing is imported into a fabric management application. The fabric management application recognizes the network elements and the associated network data properties of the network drawing. The imported network drawing is used to map a network fabric represented by the imported network drawing into a representation usable by the fabric management tool. In one or more embodiments, configuration data may also be imported and used to map the network fabric.
