Traffic🚦and Weather 🌥: Troubleshooting Cloud to Cloud Connectivity

@captainpacket and I dive into the all-too-common struggle of troubleshooting connectivity issues between cloud environments. As more companies move applications to the cloud, the old on-prem tools just don’t cut it anymore. We walk through how Forward Networks helps solve these challenges with an intuitive, powerful approach that saves time and simplifies understanding complex network paths.Craig shows how Forward Networks lets him map out an entire data flow from one cloud to another in seconds. He doesn’t need to jump through hoops with trace routes, logging into each firewall, or trying out multiple cloud-native tools. Instead, he inputs the source and destination, and Forward reveals every step along the way, pinpointing exactly where the issue is—and fixing it becomes a breeze.Here’s a summary of what we covered:Connectivity Challenges Between Clouds: Why troubleshooting from one cloud to another is tough without the right tools. Old vs. New Tools: The limits of traditional tro

Unifying Networks with Merged Snapshots

Maintaining complete network visibility in today’s complex IT environments is daunting. Network segmentation, while essential for security, often complicates obtaining a comprehensive view of the entire network infrastructure. Federal IT departments charged with the responsibility of keeping networks mission-ready face significant hurdles in visualizing connectivity, ensuring security zone segmentation, and performing complete path searches across segmented domains. Challenges of a segmented network include:Limited Visibility - Segmentation obscures the overall connectivity map, complicating network interaction visualization. Complex Troubleshooting - Diagnosing issues spanning multiple segments is difficult without a unified network view. Operational Inefficiencies - Lack of a holistic view leads to inefficiencies, requiring manual information assembly across different interfaces.I created a blog post and video about Forward’s Merged Snapshot capabilities and how we address these cha

Demo Tuesday - 12/21 - Rogue Devices in your Network?

I hope everyone had a relaxing holiday and New Year!Now that we are getting back into the swing of things, do you suspect there are rogue devices in your network, but you have no easy way to find them? I remembered what I had to do back in the day to find rogue devices, and needless to say, it was not easy to find them. Could Forward Networks help Mike find these rogue devices? I had the same question, and I enlisted the help of our resident NQE expert, Jack Shen, to see if we could identify and locate where these unwanted devices are easily. Code example used in the demoThe NQE query that was used in the video to find if there were any Huawei devices in their network is below. foreach device in network.devicesforeach host in device.hostswhere isPresent(host.macAddress)let assigneeName = ouiAssignee(host.macAddress)where isPresent(assigneeName)let vendor = toUpperCase(assigneeName)select { violation: matches(vendor, "HUAWEI*"), deviceName: device.name, deviceInterfaces: host.int
