The Dell EMC Networking plug-in lets an admin create an inventory of the physical network devices they wish to monitor. After the devices are discovered, the plug-in associates the virtual machine mapping to the physical device and the physical interfaces they connect to. The physical device alerts, health, CPU and memory utilization usage, and health is monitored and reported on the dashboards. There is no function to change the physical configuration of the physical devices in any way from this plug-in. This helps the Network Admins maintain control of the devices configuration and still share information that is relevant to other admins.
An administrator of a Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) would find this physical network information very helpful.
